Think I'm good?/QUOTE] My experience is that there is plenty of room in the frame but the fork is tight. I have the least expensive Lynskey fork, a few years old. 28s on a narrow rim like Open Pros will fit. On my wider Pacenti rims the tires are closer to 30 and also taller. They rub the fork crown and 7800 brake. I have to run 25s which measure 27+. You should ask Lynskey, as stuff changes. It's easy to communicate with them.
Mine fits a 28 with substantial room to spare on the fork, but it is a disc so there is more clearance. Not sure how much extra there would be with calipers but I assume it would fit a 28. I have posted a picture of the clearance in other threads (one showing the fork in "Lynskey or other Ti Frame" thread).
