Leaving the original wheels on this bike. Got it for $350 which I think is fair.
I can't think of any good reason to try to switch to 700c, I guess more tire choices?

That being said, if you plan on changing wheel size to 700c from 27", you should get a different bike- the brake studs are so close to the rim and have such a small drop that those extra 4 mm are nigh impossible to get the pads straight. I know. I tried. And there are no modern canti's that will fit that I've found.
