The frame/fork have excellent clearance, and I've had 700c Weinmanns on that very bike, running 28's, with no problem, plenty of room for fenders and eyelets, also.
Light touring is fine, but the geometry is still a little twitchy for standard 4-pannier touring loads. I've been looking for a 56cm Lemans RS or Lemans for a short time, have a triple group, all new, ready to go.
