700c vs. 27" = 622 mm vs. 630 mm; just 4mm difference on the radius.
What's all those car parts behind?
I didn't realise it was such a small difference?
How hard is it to get hold of a 700c rear wheel with the correct hub spacing for my frame?
All those car parts are panels etc for Smart Cars (I am a Smart specialist).

Yet another first fixie/ SS project, so apologies in advance.
I managed to save this bike from going to the local scrappie, it is a Raleigh Zenith (501 frame). I have stripped the frame down and in the process found a couple of small cracks in the drive side chain stay which I have had welded by a friend. I have also found the forks are a bit bent too but I'm sure I can sort that out. I'm still not 100% sure if I should strip and repaint it or just try and clean up the worst of the rust and leave it as it is?
So far I have managed to clean up the bars, stem, crank arms and seat post but still need to get hold of some wheels, a chain, chain ring and a few other bits.
Bars before:
Bars After:
As it's my 1st SS build I'm still learning and am not sure if I'll need to stick with 27" wheels or can use 700c? So a bit of advice would be much appreciated.
