Bikes: Some of the bikes I've collected: Raleighs ( about 20), Trek ( oldest 1978 770 Columbus tubes), Mercian, Condor, Bob Jackson, Falcon, Holdsworth, Jacques Anquetil, Bianchi, LeMond, Cannondale, Schwinn, Iver Johnson, Dunelt
The pewter one has Cannondale racks. I have a set of red Cannondale bags to match.
The red one has the stock Blackburn rack.
I have not tried fenders on the 85 with the 1 3/8 tires. The seat stay bridge is the real problem mounting fenders. If it was a 1/2 higher fenders would fit better. I also thought about notching the fender and moving it above the bridge.
I don't beleive the bb height is that different. Going from 27inch (630mm) to 700c (622mm) rim diameter would only be 4mm bb height change with similar profile tires.
