49mm brake drop on the Ribble according to the guy I bought it off but I haven't measured myself. The fork was a carbon Time Sprint which I would have kept if it had enough clearance but it got quite narrow at the top.
There's a decent amount of clearance at the seat stay bridge with 38mm Loup Loups and there isn't a chain stay bridge but I had to crimp the chain stays to get the width clearance (with some vice grips lol).
The calipers are Tektro R559s which I've used before on 27" to 700c conversions and am generally a fan of. I did try some centerpulls in an effort to maximise the mudguard clearance at the brake bridge but the improvement was marginal and they made it so I would have to deflate the rear tyre to remove the wheel.

What brake drop did the frame start off with, and which calipers did you use?
