My Pashley Guv'nor came with an enlarged hole on the right side bottom of the fork and a slit grommet in a hole on the top of the fork even though it didn't come with a generator - I rectified that with a Sturmey-Archer 90mm Drum Brake Dynohub. My former Trek Belleville had internal wiring in the fork & frame and the front rack had a separate set of tubes for the light wiring. I love internally routed electrical wires. Go for it.
