Bigger clearances are certainly becoming the norm. Between the Atlantis and the

esp. if you swap out wheel sets.
I like this article on the former, original Atlantis design, and how versatile

I think in the current Riv design philosophy, as they increase tire
clearance, they increase the frame toughness. So don't hold your breath for
a Roadini with 2" tire clearance.
