I used a 32R on my 58 cm Atlantis but had to space it up with a couple of little extender goodies. IIRC Rivendell spec'd the 33R for 58 & up Atlantis & the 32R for 56 & smaller. In those days, the 58 & up had 700c wheels & the 56 & smaller were on 26" wheels. Sounds like a call to Rivendell may be needed to sort it out. Probably also depends on tire size & fenders.
