Joel, I have no idea what size tire you're contemplating on this project, but it may not be necessary to use a spring device. I was able to achieve a nice fender line on my Rivendell Road Standard (which has the horizontal dropouts that your project bike also has) by using a nylon spacer. With the tire size that I'm running on this bike (700x28c, Panaracer Pasela tire), I'm able to demount the tire without deflating it. Here's a photo at my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964...@n05/3634077634/in/set-72157619758078965/
I painted the spacer to match the paint of the bike which I think gives it a "as-built" quality. Obviously, this solution won't work if the tire/bridge clearance on your project aren't sufficient.
