I have a quandary of sorts.
27" rims or 700's?
It seems that the 70's was a mixture of both (well all eras have a mix really don't they, look at 650b's comeback ATM)
I've always been a 50's/60's man in terms of bikes so with the 70's it's a learning process. It seems to be a period of fairly rapid change and I think this bike reflects that with its dropout upgrade then.
I know from previous experiments both 27's and 700's fit neaty under gaurds so which do I pump for?
I've done some research and I can fairly easily get period rims in both sizes, but which ones!?
All opinions sought :)
