Short answer-- whatever size you want. It's more determined by the brakes than the frame.

I dropped in on ANT two Sundays ago to consult with Mike about my Club Racer. The bike that I'm getting will be using long-reach sidepull calipers and will be sized for 28mm tires with fenders. I believe that those brakes can fit around a tire that's up to 32mm and still have fender clearance, but it will probably be rather tight. Any higher and you'll have to start talking about using cantilevers. If you're going up to 32mm, he might start steering you to his XO model, which is built around cantilevered brakes, where the Club Racer is built with long-reach sidepull calipers in mind.
