this is probably too late.. but i have a bianchi san jose and i would recommend it for you. it comes with 32c tires, but definitely has room for bigger tires. i am using 25s though. it also comes with a single speed only rear wheel, however i upgraded to a fixed/free wheelset. there are bosses for two bottle cages, fender eyelets, front/rear rack mounts, canti brakes, and the geometry is somewhat relaxed. i'd say it's quite versatile.
