My bike's a GT Xizang - a titanium-frame hardtail with front suspension (RockShox Judy fork). So it's just the front I'm trying to figure out the best deal for a touring rack. I have a custom built rear rack that Black Sheep Bicycles out of Ft. Collins made for me last summer, out of titanium. It's rock solid.
But the front suspension can probably be dealt with in a number of ways. I'm just wondering what you well-experienced hands would do if it was yours...
