Roadeo is spec'ed for maxing out standard long-reach brakes (47-57mm) with a full ~57mm of reach. A number of manufacturers make brakes of this reach (Shimano, Tektro, Dia-Compe, VO, Paul, etc.), and pretty much with any of these brakes you're going to be able to get a full 28mm tire and fender under there. Riv has also discovered if that you use the Tektro "Bigmouth" 47-57mm brakes you can get a Jack Brown and an SKS 45mm fender in there, since the Tektro's are designed for maximum clearance. I imagine that you could do the same with the Paul Racer Medium centerpull. However, if you were to use something like the Shimano 47-57mm brake, which has thicker, stiffer arms for better braking response, you probably wouldn't be able to fit both the 33mm tire and fender in there.
So I think you can take the Roadeo copy to mean that it is designed to take at least a 28mm tire + fender with pretty much any brake that will reach the rim. Depending on brake selection, you can get up to a 33mm tire + fender.
