Did you consider one of thos things that replaced the skewer nut? I think problem solvers makes one. Minoura also make a mount that clamps around the fork blade.
I think the granny is a 28, and it's a 28 in the back, so while it's not "stump pulling low," it's certainly, "get my old, fat hinder up the hill" low.


About the lights- I'm considering Paul "Geno Light Mounts" for the mid-fork rack braze ons.






Otherwise, I think it was SixtyFiver who had fabricated a bar that mounted to the brake mount on the fork crown. If I could make one and not have it look all like "I made it," I like that idea best.
