I did some work at the co-op straightening the fork (it was really bad) and, guessing from the way the bike steers, added some extra rake. It's good though, it now feels like a low trail CX bike :-P which is fine because I don't think it is a very good touring frame in this size.
I know a frame builder and he agreed to replace the hacked off brake cable guides, add a pump peg, and fix the gouges to the TT and crown race. I also had it powder coated in a batch with his stuff, so I didn't get to choose a color but it worked out nicely.
