Do you know if this frame fits a 700c x 32mm tire in the rear? Alternatively, what's the internal measurement across the chainstays where there is tire rub right behind the bottom bracket?

I figured that would be tight for 32s at the bottom bracket but wasn't sure. There is often some variability in these older frames.
It's a good deal for the right person.
