Clearance issues yes you will struggle to get a 23mm tyre in there. The £1k bike is right here actually, Rich dropped it off a couple of days ago as we're going to be stripping it for parts for another sponsored rider.

Thanks, that puts my mind at ease that the frame isn't borked! I don't think my Knight rims are going to work either, with being 28mm?! wide.
I don't have another back wheel that's going to work so next weekends race is going to have to be on the road bike and the search for a disc continues. Annoyingly I've passed up a coupe of suitable discs being sold locally and there's a Hed Jet on eBay - that teh seller has put PROtotype decals on :/ - but I suspect that may be too wide a rim too.

I was thinking of making one but it's looking like I'll need it sooner than later; the frame and my wheels aren't playing nicely, I'm hoping it's just because my deeps are pretty wide and there's not an issue with the frame. Picking up a 20mm tyre tomorrow to try on the back, hopefully that'll be enough to get me rolling for now.
@xavierdisley don't suppose you know if there were any clearance issues with the back wheel on the £1000 bike?
I'm very aware this thread is somewhat lacking in pics but, just to add to the things that aren't working for me at the moment my phone has decided it's not going to save any pictures!
