Bikes: 1978 Trek TX700; 1978/79 Trek 736; 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport; 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP; 1985 Trek 620; 1985 Trek 720; 1986 Trek 400 Elance; 1987 Schwinn High Sierra; 1990 Miyata 1000LT

Find a frame you like- see if the 27s fit.

My 1986 Trek 400 Elance came with 700c wheels on it. I changed it TO 27" to fit the reach for a specific set of brakes. I was running 700x32, but I had to go to 27 x 1 1/8" because of fork crown clearance issues.

My *guess* is that the Superbe calipers will be able to go UP enough in a position to reach 27s, where most Superbe calipers wouldn't be able to reach low enough to go from 27 to 700c.
