With that frame, I'd use swept back bars like the North Roads (which are cheap), and go for 700s with big tyres to fill up the clearances (prob 32c). If you want some 27" rims, I have some nice classic looking 36h NOS ones. That way you'll end up with a cool crusing style bike.

Also bear in mind that it isn't an amazing frame, so keep the cost of parts in perspective.
