Mudguard clearance on Enigma Etape?

Can anyone with one please tell me how much clearance there actually is for full guards and 25mm tyres please? My current winter bike has far too little clearance and easily gets clogged up on shitty lanes in winter and it doesnt take too much for it to start rubbing etc.

I fancy an Etape but I want to make sure it has all the clearance I need to forget about this issue. It runs short drop brakes and I'm a little concerned it might not do it.

Thanks

    I'm not sure (unfortunately I'm not an owner) but I did meet some of the staff at the Bespoke Bike show in Bristol last year and they were very approachable and chatty. I'd recommend giving them a call to ask, they're about as far away from 'high pressure sales' as you can get - ask em a straight question and you'll get a very straightforward answer...

    I've emailed them already. I know Jim and Mark already as I have 2 Enigmas in the garage already ;) but was hoping for an owners perspective as well
