Nice!! I'm working on a similar project this winter. I've got a Gios Torino Super Record frame from 1982. Real similar to the ones Roger won Paris Roubiax on so many times. I'm positive I can fit at least 32mm 650b tires, probably 38, and fingers crossed for 42. Gotta test fit soon. I'll be adding fender eyelets and other goodies later. Keep this posted with photos, I'm curious to follow along!
