Thanks very much Anthony! If you don't mind, a couple follow up questions...

Is there any room left between the wheel/tire and the fork crown and brake bridge? For instance, if you wanted to install fenders, would you be able to? I realize most bikes built for 650c (NOT "cc", sorry about that) are racing machines so probably can't fit fenders.

Finally, if there is not enough room for fenders is there enough room to fit slightly larger tires? Traditionally 650c are thin racing tires but I recently read about the Terry Tellus tire:

In your estimation, do you think you'd be able to fit these on your 650c bike?
