Ah, I see... I've already installed the guards and it's pretty tight but it works. The frame was made with these guards and calipers in mind (with 28mm 4seasons). Interesting to see in that article that the TRPs actually offer slightly better clearance than Grand Cru, I'd heard somewhere that it was the other way around.
The main ballache with PDWs in my experience is how fat the safety tabs are... I had to shave a bit of material off my rear rack to make more room at the back, and it's impossible to run modern front racks (with thicker tubing) on the Dawes for the same reason.
Picking everything up from Seabass this afternoon so I'll take photos etc tomorrow : )

Yeah you prob have two rears. Hopefully a proper front will sort it.
What I was referring to is the under arm clearance with TRPs and PDW - my guess is you'll have some jiggery pokery to get them situated (at least compared to shimano brakes). But maybe you're a pro installer https://blackmtncycles.com/clearance-pt-ii-road-frames/
