Well, you're doing the brevets, right?

Yeah, apparently I am getting a new bike. For me, it will be a brevet bike. I love love my colonago, which is just bulletproof, and I was ready to try to make it work (heck I did a 600k on an aluminum race bike), but the rear triangle is so tight that I can't put fenders on and I question whether the bike would work with a schmidt hub and where we'd put the lights.
