So make sure you've got at least 40mm plus some breathing room between the chainstays at *about* 26-27 inches from the dropouts.
whoa, I don't think you meant inches. Or maybe you meant half of that?
So it turns out the issue wouldnt be the clearance between the chainstays but finding a brake caliper with about 80mm of reach. I'm not going to convert this frame to 650b but I might do a 700 conversion at some point and run wider tires.
I think the VO Polyvent is 20% off right now isnt it?
Huh.
