I've put my existing 819's in, fits perfectly, like you said it would. The advantage for me with the 819's is in Africa, or South-Africa, where we will use this. There's loads of thorns, thus you need tubeless, trust me, and the 819 Mavics, works a dream!
My build
Rims - Mavic 819 Tubeless (26 spokes black) or Maybe 719s ???
Gears - Shimano Alfine 11-speed (build into 36 hold Mavic 819)
Brakes - I am not sure what to get (Vee Brakes or Canti Lever)
**Any suggestions? I like the look of Planet-X Frogs Canti's, but then what do I use **for the levers?
Thompson Seatpost + stem (black)
Flat Handlebars with bar end levers (black)
I will probably look at a all Shimano solution, for brakes, gears (Alfine 11-speed)
I must admit, it's a beautiful looking frame, and yes, the fork does not look to bad either, will work and fit panniers, which is important to me.
