However, you can have a bike that was built in 84 as a 1985 model bike. Kind of like automobile model years. "The new Oldsmobiles are out early this year."

That would be cool having a total "in-between" model year.

Are you sure they're 700C with Helicomatics? I can imagine swapping out the Helicomatic. I can imagine swapping out to 700C. I can't imagine swapping out a 27" rim and relacing the Helicomatic...

I can imagine someone swapping out
I think the bulk of Helicomatic hubs were sold and came on bikes mostly after the 27x 1 1/4" rim size era. From the early to the end of the 80's.....
So most of them were laced on to 700C rims.
