27" tubs ARE 700c iirc:
"there's really no such thing as a 27" tubular rim or tire. All full size tubulars are 700c. 700c has a bead[URL="http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-504101.html#"][/URL] seat diameter of 622mm, 27" has a bead seat diameter of 630mm. In the U.S., because the 27" size was so prominent on clincher-equipped road bikes through the mid to late '80's, for marketing purposes some tubulars were labeled 27."
