Yeah, what skeleton boy said... I've got 1 1/4" tyres on my Mercian road/path (check my gallery pic), very different ride to 700x23... Feels like a monster truck wearing moon boots in comparison... Tough to get decent puncture-proof tyres for 27" that are anything smaller, not impossible tho'... I've got two 27" frames so decided to go all out and build a 27" wheelset, clearance is still massive on the track frame even tho' it's a proper old British track frame... Still needs a long drop caliper... There are loads of suitable ones to be had, been talked about loads on here, get an old Weinmann or a lush 70s Dura-Ace like PJ's which, by the way, I must have...
Brakeless is for the reckless, but that's another (more tedious) conversation... Anyway, I'm rambling... Yadda, yadda, yadda...
