There might be a Breezer Radar something on sale somewhere.
For cool used late model disc steel bikes: Jamis Coda or Renegade, some Marins, Kona Dew or Unit, Breezer, and I know Norco had a couple steel gravel and hardtails, not sure if they had a proper hybrid.
This Jamis has been up for a while, not sure if listing is really active:
Needs 650b wheelset.
Also aged listing for a nice Breezer

Oh yeah I completely forgot about the Jamis Coda even though I probably did final checks on like 600 of those during my shoprat days. I love those things.
This is also making me want a Marin Larkspur for myself.
I want to install a front rack on my Kentfield. Would you go with p-clamps or run a nut/bolt through one of those (unthreaded) holes?
I have a set of these Pelago QR adapters in black that I’ll never use. I can post them to you, if you’re interested.
How do those work?
Kinda like the Axion fender stay adapters, but they’re thicker steel.
These are the assembly instructions, which probably explain it better than I can: https://pelagobicycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/front-rack_rasket_assembly-instruction_2023.web_.pdf
Looks like they’re for nutted axles.
Specialized Pizza Rack or Blackburn Grid Basket?
Could you just run some threads in one of those holes? That’s what I’d do.

The plates are pretty thin. Not as deep as a fender/rack mount.
Hm, aren’t they as thick as the dropouts though?
I get that the sections betwixt the holes are thin but any load should be mostly down not fwd into the thin bit…
Personally, I’d get a Pelago rack and a solid axle. I avoid p-clamps whenever possible, and I get a bit squicky about modding things like that on a fork.

Might go with either of these.
My Ritchey P-29er is never going to be my primary mtb again. It’s settled into a sort of “gravel+” role, and I’m pondering a drop bar for it. The catch would be the brake levers. Can I swap drop bar hydro levers in for the current Deore flat bar jawns? It’s a 1x10 with a Saint shifter, so I think I just want wet road levers, not wet shakes.
Lightly tap one of those holes if the size is right, then nut/bolt but with the screw head on the inboard side, loctited into place in the plate.
