I'll revisit craigslist and see if I can find a reasonable project bike.
You can add a after market chainguard too! Each of them have different rules, but it may be doable with your gearing.
I built up a soma mixte, with an IGH, and added a velo orange chainguard. My bike is 100% modern parts.
I had my chain guard powder coated to match.
