Update. Pulled the trigger on the Obed.
In a last-second concession, I chose to go without the rear fender/rack brace, since the fork on the GVR don't have no eyelets anyhow. I slept on it and called them up and added the seatstay bridge and the toptube mounts. Just in case, y'know. So I'll go with SKS Speedrockers when the time comes. 5-6 weeks from now, I'll have my N=1...
