Fox bro! Some inspiration perhaps from my edition.
Are 26" rim brake wheels hard to come by in the UK? They're plentiful in the Netherlands. Regarding tyres, you should have ample choice. I have found 2.15" slicks is probably the sweet spot in terms of clearance (with mud guards), currently running Schwalbe Big Apples.
The rack I'm using is a Pelago Commuter, which is affordable and works well. Though the fork crown mount tends to interfere with the straddle cable, be aware.

Curious to see what you'll do with the frame!
