I've also got an old Escapade which has had most of the modifications you've mentioned. Can confirm that it's not light, but with 650b wheels and a nice wide cockpit it will handle anything you throw at it.
what size tyres? did you modify the chainstays?
They're 650 x 47c Terrence Elwoods. They clear the chainstays with maybe 5mm each side so I didn't have to modify them.
Not much mud clearance, but it hasn't been an issue so far
