Subject: [CR]appropriate rack for the Chemineau

I currently have a Blackburn rear rack installed on my ca1955 Le Chemineau. See pictures here; http://community.webshots.com/user/tenordl My question is first, would any rack be appropriate for this bike, and if so, what kind? How about a front rack as well? There are provisions on the frame for fenders, but not for a rack. I've always thought of this bike as a touring model, but the man who sold them out of his cellar in the 50's did not. He strongly suggested getting the model with the 650B tires for touring, and chastised me for adding a rack to my bike.
