This raises a question I've been ponderin' for a while. Does Nitto
offer mini-rack style canti-mount struts for the Mark's rack? I've
seen some made for the Campee rack but they're likely too short.

as someone who's looked into this... The Ritchey's have shorter
wheelbases and chain stays, and the seat angles are much steeper. And
as mentioned tire clearance is less. All features I have come to
prefer in the Rivendell bikes.
And of course there is the absence of those beautiful lugs.

Correct. The Ritchey in my size frame, 58cm, has 73.5 seat and head
tube angles, 41.5mm chainstays. Wheelbase is 99.5. No lugs, but the
welds are pretty nice.
It has great sentimental value and quality Toyo construction, but
needed a repaint. I rarely rode it because the clearances were too
tight
very snazzy. I've been riding mine a lot. It's dynamite.

Oh, and the chainstay bridge was drilled and tapped to mount a fender.
The clearance between the stays is quite narrow, however, and I can't
see squeezing a fender in there -- currently I have a tab extending
from the fender to the bridge.
