Bill, Did you happen to get a feel for tire clearance, beyond what is obliquely visible from the latest photos? It looks like the 55 Big Ben fits ok, but might not provide room for fenders. Or would it? Is the rear triangle more gracious than the new fork crown? Do you think there's any chance a 60 could fit, with or without fenders - even if it doesn't satisfy the "legal" clearance requirement that manufactures have to state?
I'm thinking about this bike yet again, but lack of ability to run a big tire could solve my decision dilemma quickly. I decided to speed up the build on my Clem and, unfortunately, it does appear that it is not going to be a good fit physically. A 58 Joe might be just enough smaller but, if it meant giving up fatter tires, I'd probably choose to compromise and just stick with what I have.
