I don’t think I ever did a thread. It is 650x38b. Fork is Soma Champs Elysses, which is fine but probably more stout than necessary. Matching rack from Soma, puts the rack high above the fender so a custom fork/rack job (maybe hit up gugie or a local builder) might be a better aesthetic bet. Does have a gugie decaleur to get the bag in the right spot. New style Dia Compe 750 up front, Weinmann 750 or whatever they called it in back (got too cheap to buy another matching new caliper and at this point I don’t care). Feel free to PM or post any questions. I “dented” (not dimpled sadly) the chain stays a bit but it cleared 38s especially if you move the rear wheel to the back of the dropout. All that said it’s a very nice ride and I would recommend and setup the same for friend/family.
