27" Whitewall tyres

get thee to the Herne Hill jumble on sun. Maybe not whitewall but I got some nice all black ones. but really, if you can get the brakes to align, put 700s on (hear the puppies cry!). Will save you a world of hassle.

As a helpful bikeshop assistant replied when asked where I could get 27 1/4 tyres: "1978".

LOL.

Getting 27's [ black] seems to be no problem at all... also getting 27's with amber walls is no problem, as bristly pioneer found above.
It's just the whitewalls that are the problem.
