700x23 does fit on 26" MTB frames designed with FAT tires in mind, but V-brakes would need an adaptor to work right, and the frame would have to fit 26x2.2in tires at least.

Just to be sure, you have a MTB, right? or do you actually have a 26x1-1/4 (S-6, 597mm). Decimals and fraction sizes are not the same and it's easy to confuse the two.
