Wheels are difficult, ideally 27 1/4 but 700c is much more convenient :)
I'm well known as a stick in the mud dinosaur, but I don't think 27's are ideal for anything - I should go for the convenience (and speed) of the 700's.
Good luck with the build - I hope you get plenty of enjoyable miles with it.
I’m planning building up a set of double fixed Airlites (if I can get the rear hub fixed) with a pair of 40/32 700 MA2s I have - ‘they’ll look just like sprints’
Ahem.
