Guess not...

I love the bike, and it would look quite interesting with skinny tubes and fatter tires.

Its going to depend on the clearance - mostly the width of the stays and forks. If the tubing flares normally, I would think it could work. I'm thinking that bike was designed for 33mm cross tires, so it should work just fine geometry wise with 650bx47mm tires - that is practically the same geometry. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work - as long as there is appropriate flare in the fork/stays.

Just make sure what you buy has a good return policy. ;-)
