If the OP isn't against springing for a custom rear rack, he could have one made that bolts into the canti stud holes and a seatpost mount.
The fender requirement would be tough. I have the Full Dynamix version of this frame and there is very little room for a fender with 2.3" tires. 2.0 and smaller should be no prob, BUT there are no fender mounts at BB or brake bridge areas.
I'd probably go with a Surly Ogre fork, even though it's kinda heavy.

why do you need carbon? I have 2 bikes with 26" 559 -47 tires ,
1) 7005 Heat treated Alloy 'World Tour'
2) 80's lugged steel, repaired and rebuilt..
DIY ? Kit ?
you could buy carbon tube and use it, rather than bamboo ...

Okay so here we are, post number 28. The original poster, who wanted a carbon fiber mountain bike frame made for 26" wheels for use as a touring or road bike, with (blah blah blah) braze ons, has not been back to participate in the conversation since the original post.
Right. Ever think you've been played?
