The tubulars known to Europeans as 28" used to be called 27" over here, because you could use them in bikes made for 27×1¼ clinchers. A 28" clincher rim in English use usually refers to something now known as 635mm in ETRTO terms.

Yeah but it's odd that only Euro brands seem to do it. I've never seen a UK or US company not refer to that size as 700(something).
I await you posting a link proving otherwise within seconds :)
