Hey All!

This is my first post on here, and I am seeking some advice.

I'm purchasing a Fuji Berkeley from the 80's in great condition. The only complaint I have so far is the brown tire walls, so here is my dilemma.

purchase new 27" black road bike tires, or...

purchase new 700c wheelset and tires.

What difference will I notice going from 27" to 700c?

And I haven't seen the bike in person yet, does anyone know if you can lower the stock fuji brakes? If I recall correctly it needs to be lowered around 4mm to be converted to 700c right?

Thanks for the input!
