the radius of 700c rims is 4mm smaller than for 27" rims. This means you need different tyres, and any brake blocks would have to be set 4 mm lower.
This is exactly what I've been saying in discussions with a couple of riders and unless you are a serious restoration enthusiast 4mm isn't going to make too muck difference to the look or the ride.
Unless, of course, you are a dedicated track rider that needs the slightly larger circumference to improve that PB.
