Well, I don't have my tape measure - left it at work! But I took a couple of snaps of the area, and maybe you can tell from them:
I think there's plenty of room between the forks and the chainstays and seatstays, but I would worry about the brakes. The brakes that came with the bike have no provision for any sort of quick-release, so if you were to flat there's no way to open the brakes up any further so as to slip the tire between the brake pads.
I haven't looked around yet, but are there any brake upgrades that would work with the bike?
