As for leather wrap...the "gold standard" would be a Brooks wrap...but it is pricey. Not sure exactly how to do it...
As long as the 42's work with the fenders you decide on (and the Velo Orange suggestion is a good one)...I would not worry too much about smaller. I do not think you would really notice the difference, so long as you have the appropriate gearing...
And...where are the pictures? You need to let all of us drool a bit! :-)
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help. The bike should arrive today so I don't have any personal photos but here is one from the seller. I plan to gussy it up a bit and make it my own. I don't like the black breaks so I may replace those of see if I can strip them so that they're silver.
