Nice bike. Does the front fork have bosses for mounting a front rack/low loader?

I ought to do a before and after...this is my winter/wet weather commuter when first built...
Basic specs..
1970s Raleigh 531 Clubman, stripped and powdercoated.
Tiagra 9 speed chainset.
Upgraded from cup n cone BB to sealed cartridge type
Sora shifters
Sora front and rear mechs
San Marco Ponza saddle
Shimano WH-R500 wheelset
Sora 8 speed cassette.
Tektro long drop calipers.
Since this photo,
Dawes galaxy handlebars and stem fitted along with Bontrager gel tape.
Quill to ahead steering adapter.
SKS chromoplastic mudguards.
3 years later..it doesnt look this clean and shiny...used all weathers, not spared anything, it looks well used, but still does the business, no complaints.

Nice !
I like the idea of a recumbant but part of my route is a cyclepath thats so narrow that if you pass another cyclist you both have to stop or one has to go offroad.

We don't seem to see so many of the Thorns mentioned on this forum these days but I think they are very good bikes and certainly enjoy riding mine when I get the chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
