Scott...you are the man! That looks like a definite candidate...and quite similar to the Cross-Check but maybe a little more dovetailed to what I want to do with it.
The one problem I see is no fork braze ons...which I forgot to mention as a requirement. Maybe I could switch it out with an LHT fork. The Cross-Check has the same issue.
In a perfect world there's some goofy old MTB or Touring bike someone is aware of that would work.
