It seems to have more in common with the rod brake machines; its a compromise so I'm going to say its about 60-70% the way there from the 26" bikes. The seat stays look like bolt-on stays that got...

That's the right headset! The tricky bits will be a proper type K hub and the stem. Actually the handlebars have a different bend to them as well. The brake levers will have the word 'Patent'...
