Was just looking at the Karate Monkey (not looking to buy, just checking it out). It seems like a nice frame, any reason why they didn't put rack eyelets on the fork? Why don't all non-suspension bikes just come with eyelets?

Because it makes you less aero, duh!
I think this (http://www.somafab.com/juice29.html) has eyelets.
