Very nice! I found that 35mm Vittoria Hyper Voyagers just fit under Chromoplastic mudguards, albeit with tighter clearances than is ideal, and I have to deflate the tyres to get them through the brake calipers. As I'm usually doing this within easy reach of a track pump I don't mind too much.
Thrustvector-
@Thrustvector It is good to know that 35mm wide tyres will fit.
@vp1337 and @veLLo thanks, I am looking forward to getting out on it again once the icy weather clears.

I replaced the original black Brooks B17 with a honey coloured Team Professional Titanium model and I have left off the Blackburn low rider front rack for everyday use. I am using a long-setback SR MTE-100 seat post while I wait for a couple I have ordered in the correct diameter which may provide sufficient set back for the saddle in a lighter and more elegant solution.
I was delighted with ride from the 27 x 1 1/4 Panaracer Pasela kevlar beaded tyres, the only drawback is that I have to partially deflate the rear tyre to remove it because of the front facing horizontal dropouts.
