You're nearly describing how my Redwood is set up right now - 650b conversion with room for Vee Rubber Speedsters (47mm actual), crossing fingers that Switchbacks will fit (chainstay width issue only) - there is definitely room for fenders. Top tube doesn't slope like a Hillborne though and brakes are Tektro long reach calipers. The tubing is on the lighter side, road bike design, low BB (well, maybe too low with 77mm drop).

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Switchback Hills (650BX48)
The early Salukis won't fit much more than the Fatty Rumpkin or Hetre. The later runs with the kickstand plates will take a larger tire but by that time the 60 and 62 sizes were discontinued. - Frank On Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at 1:23:30 PM UTC-4, jeffrey kane wrote: > > Pudge: that's an easy one.

RE: [RBW] Re: Compass Switchback Hills (650BX48)
Well, I've got a pair of Switchback Hills mounted on my Saluki (admittedly, without fenders), and they fit fine. I even gave some thought to trying to jam some fenders in there, but concluded that discretion was the better part of valor, and all that… I can measure them tonight, but I think they're stretched to just about just about 49mm on 23mm rims.
