I have a Schwinn LeTour II Mixte frame that is being prepped to become my next commuter.

Currently it is configured with a 700c fork from a Centurion and 650A/26 x 1 3/8 wheelset I had built for another project.

The Weinmann centerpulls just reach the proper pad location with this fork, but there are no eyelets to mount fenders or the low-rider pannier rack.

I'm looking at the idea of replacing the fork rather than trying to install eyelets.

Should I go with another 700c fork, a 26 x 1 3/8 fork, or are there other options I should consider, and why?

Would like to stay with the centerpull brake, but will consider other ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Gary
