Hello, when I built it I had an initial go at v-brakes and then decided to go for the cantis. I didn't try buying some mini v's, but right now I can't remember why I made this decision. THe issue is with the fork studs, which are quite close together (see photo here).
As for the tyres, there's still room for guards with 35c, but I have never mounted any.

Lowered to £80

I had 700x35c which I think is the max size it takes

How I had it build + photos (hopefully visible) of dent in top tube

Selling a steel frame in a beautiful green paint. I don't know if it is actually CB, but it came with those decals when I bought it. The quality is really good, with 531c tubing for the frame and 531 for the fork and suntour dropouts.
When I bought it, it had just been restored and was in perfect conditions, bar a small dent on the top tube. I have then built it as a tourer and used it moderately (about 1500 km), which shows in paint being chipped in a few spots due to contact with bags, chain or tyre. Will put photos below.
When building it, I found it quite difficult to find the right brakes for it. I am including some Shimano cantis that work well, so that you won't have to go through all the trouble :)
I am based in Cambridge but I can ship.
What's included:
- frame + fork (56 cm c-c seat tube, 57 cm c-c top tube)
- stronglight headset (serviced) + cable guide
- shimano CX50 canti brakes (all spacers included, one of the link cables missing)
- 130 mm ITM Eclypse stem
Fits tyres up to 700x35c (according to my experience)
SOLD
