I would make sure that the brakes can be adjusted to 700c rims first, lots of times on older tourers they can't. I believe it has to do with the distance between the canti studs. Often the brakes will dive instead of contacting the rim square. My Univega Gran Turismo had that problem, so I stayed with 27" wheels.
