I think I'll go with the option of exchanging the tires to as narrow as 26x1.25, which a LBS said would work. I just like the looks of having larger wheels on my Montague, to make it look like the current road/hybrid models which come with 700c's.
If you miss reaching a 700c rim by 16mm or less, you might look at
V-Brake Post Extenders.. there are also inexpensive V-Brake pad extenders.. might be worth taking some measurements..
