I think it'll just about clear a 622x40. Will borrow a friends wheel to check (hopefully tomorrow). Looks like it might do the job though.
Things to do if I get it:
buy some low-riders or some other sort of front rack
sort out front guards - it's a shame only one of them's disappeared; I have to either source a matching front one, have non-matching ones or throw the rear away.
longer stem, remove some spacers
swap these brakes for HY/RDs or something similar. These are Hayes CX5 and don't seem great so far. Might be alright with some adjustment or new pads though. And maybe new rotors too.
remove dork disc obviously
new tyres, possibly new wheels as the rear especially feels pretty hefty. Maybe keep these for touring as they look pretty bombproof.
swap over bottle cages, groupset, etc. from old bike

It's a long way away from an Arkose...
