This, exactly.
I have several bikes that still have 27" wheels that I don't WANT to convert to 700c. Out of 5 LBS's, only 1 had a 27x1-1/8, NONE had any 27x1. So my local choices were mostly 27x1-1/4, and mostly CST's.
Of course, "I can order that for you.." Yeah, and then mark it up by 50% ??? Or more ???
No thanks, I'll have it shipped directly to my house.
