I own the 54cm LHT, and it has extremely wide tire clearance. However, I doubt that it can handle a 700c wheel with fenders. For another thing, there's the placement of the cantilever studs. They're placed lower on the frame and fork than on the 700c versions in order to accomodate the smaller wheels.
