There seems to be a variation among these "first generation orange" Rams from what I've read on this "group." I have one of those and I'm using 32mm Pasela's along with SKS fenders and those are just about the maximum fit for that frame with the Shimano SP brakes I've installed. Others have suggested that variations of this same frame have a brake bridge mounted mounted a bit higher to allow for larger tires, brakes, and fenders. Not sure about that. Another thing I've noticed is that the the brazed-on rack mounts on the seat stays are too low to allow for a rack that doesn't interfere with the rear brake on smaller frames. I've managed to make it all work for me after tweaking things quite a bit, but YMMV.
