27" wheel ideas?
My "everything bike" is a 1986 Bridgestone 400. The bike has 27" wheels and the rear hub has 120mm spacing for the 5-speed freewheel.
As far as I can tell from cleaning and repacking the hubs there is still a lot of life left in the wheels, but I was thinking of building up a second set. I thought about trying to find a pair on Craigslis, stripping them down to nothing and rebuilding them...but on the rare occasion that a 27" wheelset does go on the market they look like the owner left them in the backyard for the past 20+ years.
I know Phil Wood makes 120mm touring hubs (non-track) that will take a 5-speed freewheel. Are there any other makers? Also any brands I should be looking at (or avoiding) for 27" rims?
