My Road Standard fits only 28 mm tires with less than 1 mm of clearance at the brake bridge. :( I believe it had ~10 yr old Shimano 105 dual pivot sidepull calipers, and they didn't impinge on the very limited clearance.
I got sick of that limitation and now it rides on 650 x 38b tires and fenders under Paul Racer brakes.
