Might be best to get a good 27X1" on eBay.

Nah, just march into the shop, tell them to hand you the QBP catalog, and show them the tire you want. I've actually had to do that on a couple occasions (The kid at the counter had no idea there was such a thing a Jevelot's tire life compound or Frame saver). Sometimes the guys who've been at the shop know what's up, but the new help doesn't know all they should.
