It doesn't look like you can put a rack and panniers front or rear on that bike, so you might be stuck with a B.O.B. as your only option (if the clamp will fit around the shaped stays). With the geometry of that bike, you might have better handling with a B.O.B. than with loaded panniers anyway.
Can aluminum be brazed?
The seatpost attached racks can hold about 15-20 pounds, and you don't need anything but a seatpost for that. They'll also act like a fender if you add a rat-tail, which will help since you'll probably want fenders on your long ride.
There are some nice "razor" fenders for bike without braze-ons or eyelets. MimiTabby has some, and they work pretty well here in Seattle!
