Do such a thing exist? I'd like to put on something more agressive on the single speed road bike I'm building up. Hopefully it'll FIT whatever tires I find :o

How funny I did a google search and ended up there. $20/each is a bit steep but I might try it.

Will 27x1 3/8 fit any old 27" wheel?
20 Bucks a pop expensive? Oh buddy, I wanna shop where you're shopping.

Well in context, yeah. I paid $6 for the bike! :lol: Of course I'm going to have to spend $35-45 on a rear wheel for it anyway, if I can't find a used one to toss on it.
6 bucks for the bike? I REALLY wanna shop where you're shopping ;)

Yeah, its an old 10 speed, lugged steel frame, its the right size for me and it was cheap. Garage sale across the street. It was junk, really, and needs a fair amount of work. I'm turning it into a single speed road bike. Info here:

If I can get the brakes around those 27x1 3/8" tires, then I'll be set for the nasty roads around this area. AND I'll be signlespeed finally.
