Agreed, it's strange to see the shoes all the way down on any frame with the wheels the frame was designed for, what brand/application is that frame? By the 80's most low and medium cost frames/bikes could take both as the market switched over from 27" to 700c. Racing/Sport bikes with close reach brakes and 700C wheels are a different case. Those frames can have issues with 27" wheels due to lack of clearence.
