interesting shape -- is this rack designed to wrap around, and attach *behind*, the fork crown?

Lovely Trek! And a perfect candidate for the rack. I hope to see it installed.
Exactly. The rack slips over the fork, and it mounts at the rear of the crown.

As promised...got the front rack installed! Fits perfectly after just a slight bit of tweaking. Thank you deux jambes!

I stumbled across one these Jim Blackburn front racks yesterday & plan on mounting it on an 85 Panasonic Touring Deluxe.
