I like my Kogswell. A lot. Yea, it has braze ons for water bottles, yup it has eyelets for fenders AND a rack if you so choose. The internal routing for the brake cable is cool if you run a rear brake. For the right group of people it's a wonderful bike. Is it a stripped down urban warrior? No. But is it a really nice bike to spend a whole lot of time on? Yup, and the price is certialy right.
Fooj, you could have seen mine in Austin at the end of the MS 150, I'm also on the Kogswell owners gallery, I've got the red bar tape.
