This is a pretty cool frame. I'll be in Ohio in a week or so - if this hasn't sold I may contact you. I would probably want the parts - don't think I could find anything better or more appropriate for less.
Meanwhile, somebody please buy this and save me from myself.

Yo! That's my post. The 981s worked, and I think the 980 also worked. The 960s are similar to the 981, so I'd imagine they'd also do the trick. I've seen other vintage cantis used but felt like they always compromised in terms of setup/mechanical advantage/looked improperly set up. I think the Shimano MT62 to M732 all work as well.
I used Velo Orange 45mm fenders. I had no trouble with 700x32mm tires, but the 35s didn't give me as much breathing room as I would've liked. The fork crown also necessitated crimping the fender, making it a VERY tight fit. Some people have said they got 38s in the frame without fenders, but I'm skeptical whether or not they measured 38mm. I had measured 35s and felt like anything wider would've again left very little breathing room.

It is wearing 35mm here, all other photo sets are 32 mm (found here), although the earliest photos are 27"x1 1/4 before I swapped to 700c.
