I have the Tektro brakes and a Clem 650b wheelset that I ran on my Bleriot
until recently.
The wheels are 135 spaced in the rear, don't know if that works, and the
rear hub needs an overhaul (easy cup and cone job).
Let me know if you're interested.

Low BBs ride better, especially on descents. Does your knee hit the feedbag
on the bars when you switch between sitting and standing? I discovered mine
does on my Roadini, and I now mount it on the other side of the bar. I
guess judging from the bike setup it looks like you're far back enough th
Custom is good. Whatever you have is working! 👍 (excellent color, too)

Joe,
I was just going with what the original owner told me as far as Riv Road,
it may well be a custom. Luckily for me, I had a set of 559's AND a 650b
wheelset sitting on a Bleriot frame. I tested fit prior to putting my
requests out there. 42's fit with fenders, though I will dimple the
chain
The Road Standard was the original Waterford model with short-reach brakes,
a Joe Starck is getting into custom territory. I could be wrong but your
current brakes look like the Shimano mid-reachers that Riv later put on
Rambouillet and Romulus. If this is accurate you may not get the results
Doug,
The reasons I am saying it's a Road Standard vs. LongLow are no guarantee,
but the original purchaser/orderer of the frame said it was a Road
Standard, it has sidepulls (vs. cantilever on many LL's), chainstay length
seems to match RS's and it fits a 35, but w/ no room for fenders and
doe
Are you sure this isn’t a Long Low? I have a ‘99 JS Road Std, also with
short reach brakes (that probably maxes out between 32 and 35mm) and I
don’t recall the Road Std having any other brake option…

And in regards to the 1up w/ a fendered bike; this was my only attempt thus
far and no issue on the 2.5 hr trip home via the interstate. I've seen
others use a pool noodle on the contact point around the rack's "arm" which
seems to add cushion yet keep the contact point tight enough to trust it.
Eric Marth asked about tubing; This one was built with Reynolds 725. Not
sure if stays/blades are the same, but that's what I was told.
Jim- It's definitely tighter at the stays than the fork, but 42's fit the
fork easily and in the rear with sufficient clearance if the wheel is at
the back of
