Bikes: (2) ti TiCycles, 2007 w/ triple and 2011 fixed, 1979 Peter Mooney, ~1983 Trek 420 now fixed and ~1973 Raleigh Carlton Competition gravel grinder

Look for bikes that came with 27" wheels. Run 700c. Presto! Room for both fenders and real tires. (Very unlikely to come with vertical dropouts and the tubing is likely to be heavier; ie more sturdy.) I'd stay away from the Raleigh International. 531 tubing is good stuff but not stiff, at least not in the skinny tubes of that era.)
