Mid-fork and Bottle Cage Eyelets
 

I have just completed a rebuild of an old Trek 830 and someone made the comment that I should have had eyelets brazed on the fork before I had it powder coated. Well, today a friend gave me an old Giant Innova. I'm going to have it stripped and powder coated. I'm seriously considering the braze-ons for mid fork eyelets and eyelets on the underside of the down tube for a third water bottle. Problem is I have no idea where to begin.

First off, who should I go to?

If they aren't familiar with it, where exactly on the fork and downtube should I have them do it?

Is this even a good idea?

I don't think there are any framebuilders in my area (Bowling Green, KY), I'll have to check the two LBS we have here. Thanks for any advise.

The LBS might be able to find you one. If not you might try asking for a frame builder here:

you can buy replacement forks with eyelets, and it will probably be cheaper than having them brazed in, so I guess it depends on how much you like that fork. As for the water bottle cages, I would suggest a couple of hose clamps.
