It's most likely that I'll ride the 27" wheels I have until I'm ready to have some brazing work done on the frame as well as some touchups from Ed.

Top tube cable guides, down tube shifter bosses and a threaded chainstay bridge for fenders are on my list as well as moving the canti posts.

I have a feeling that I might just enjoy the frame as-is for many many years first.

As far as the broken canti bolt, is there any reason not to use one of the mounting bolts to a Mafac Racer centerpull?
