Early 70s Super Courses did come with 27" wheels--at least 1970-73, I believe. My '71 did (though I'm running 700c on it now), and a '73 I had did. I just looked at the pdf of the '74 catalog, and it doesn't say the tire/rim size, which leads me to believe it's 700c as it does specify 27" for models below the Super Course. Fwiw, I also have 27" wheels on my '71 Competition.
