Thanks for all the excellent comments, I tried an old Mafac Raid I remembered I had and while I can get it to contact the rim, it's at an absurd angle, and no where near enough power for safe operation. I've converted old Treks to 650b with the 559's, but the Trek started with a short reach brake, not the 559's the Homer came with The Raid's will allow more room for fenders and I can try some 700x38 from Compass or Soma, should be a nice ride.
