Having changed jobs out of London a few years ago, my cycling needs have changed and my one-time commuter road bike needs to change with them.* I'm intending to use it for traditional touring (pannier-style), so...
Is anyone aware of 700C forks that both (a) are compatible with caliper brakes - presumably there's more to it than just having a hole drilled in the crown, and (b) offer eyelets for mounting a front pannier rack or other load? I'm not overly precious about material, but since the bike frame is aluminium, presumably either steel or carbon would be ideal to soak up vibration.
* I'm still commuting at least partly by bike, but have switched to a Brompton or Dutch-style bike depending on the day.
