Older steel frame, 700c wheels - what options are there?
I've found:
Trek 700, 710, 720 and 730
Bianchi Avenue
Are there others bikes that have these specs?

I really love my New Albion Privateer. Was not a vintage frame but has vintage styling and can fit either 130 or 135mm wheels and is a bike I cannot get rid of every bike I want to replace it with is basically the same thing with some slightly upgraded parts and I still wouldn't get rid of it.
I built mine as a parts bike: https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/yarrr...ablooner-34927
Here is the actual bike specs:
Privateer (Frame/Fork) ? New Albion Cycles

New Albion say 700x41 max tire size for the 700c Privateers. Having one personally, do you think that's pretty accurate, or could one go larger? The 650x47 models look pretty tasty to me, but they top out at 50cm frame size.

I am running 37s and fenders and probably could go wider once these tires wear out but I would imagine 42 is probably going to be pretty close to the limit but you might be able to fit something wider. I really should measure.
