  Have a go.
  It is immensely satisfying... and if you cannot master it - Nothing lost.

  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.

  Did anything ever come of this?

  I am in the same boat.

  Currently refurbishing a 1962 Dawes Double Blue ... and looking for 27 x 1 1/4 whitewalls for it.

  Regards.
