If you don't ride it that often and it feels OK, stick with the Dunlop 27"s. Modern 27"s are pretty crumby and decent old ones in good condition can be a pain to track down.
Anyway, this is my new, very shiny, wet weather bike: a 1960s chrome Pennine. The frame, stem and seatpost came from Edmundro, the bars and slightly silly grips were also off the forum. Pretty much everything else was just lying around my flat, not being used.
The frame is built for 27" wheels, but I'm using 700c + Weinmann 730 because that's what I had spare. I'd like to get some 700x32 Pasela tyres to fill up the massive gaps and make it look a bit nicer, but I'm reluctant to spend the money just yet.
