In any case test fit it first with a loaner wheel if you can.

It's entirely possible it was retrofitted already and may have run 700c originally..... but the cantis here can adjust for it, it looks like (checking with the 700c wheels off the tempo)
It's a kind of odd touring frame, it's got the geometry and fittings too be a grand tour, even came with cantis and a granny triple, all the braze ons and through holes in the front forks, pretty nice ride
