if you wanna ride 32's, just get a "gravel" bike with disc brakes and such. a bike that like has the ability to combine 2/3 bikes into one, if designed correctly.
just my 2c.

Interesting. That's not my experience. I assume you're referring to sidepulls so I'll just say that my experience with Tektro R559s and Shimano R650s have been excellent. I have lots of friends who use the Velo Orange long reach calipers and all have high praise. You can't get more than two cyclists to agree on any matter it seems, though; especially brakes.
And, yes, it's a fair point to say that Tomii can and should do what he wants. I'm sure if people with their wallets out want fender mounts and a Whisky fork he'll make it happen.
