If this is a '91 like it says, it should be from Grant's era. It's the right size. Does anyone know what kind of clearances this bike has?

the '91 RB-1 I had would only fit a 28mm tire, Not sure if the RB-2 will fit anything larger.

Would be a great 650B conversion!

Yes 650B is the way to go if you want fenders or tires larger than 28mm.
I have an RB1, with over 30K miles on it, and I still like riding it.
It was even my initial randonneuring bike, and I still ride it on brevets occasionally.
But it is not a bike for all rides, at least not with 700s.

They are. I've done it. Tried to sell it here last summer!

It's a '90 (Grant era), and fits up to 28mm.
