27" wheels have an ISO standard diameter of 630mm vs 700c wheels which have an ISO diameter of 622mm. So the 27" fork is made for rims that are 8mm larger in diameter than 700c. Besides the possible difference in geometry one would want to make sure the brakes will work if using 700c wheels with 27" rims.
Thank you for the cross-check fork suggestion and 27" explanation. However, I neglected to mention that I am look for 1" threadless/700C/mid-fork eyelets W/O cantilever bosses -- THAT is exceedingly hard to find. And yes my medium-reach caliper brakes may have a problem reaching 27" rims
