Perhaps a 650B conversion may give you the widest options for bike selection in combo with wider tires. Some bikes are better candidates than others. I remember seeing a Lemond Buenos Aires(max tire, stock bike would be a 28mm I think) somewhere that had a 650b conversion done..it was running 38-40mm tires I think..been a while. Looked good, as I remember.
Do a search here on BF for "650b conversion" in thread titles..you'll get lots of hits.
