So I have an 82 trek, I been having issues with wheels( keeping them true and such) only because I can only ever find the el cheapo wheels. So is there some good 27"s I can get my hands on or would be better to switch to 700c and take advantage of the new technology. I do know what goes into the switch, but I'm planning on replacing all of the parts on the bike as the are 30+ years old.

I also hop a lot of curbs and rough terrain( bike messenger) I just can't ever get any good info on 27" wheels so I'm having a hard time making my decision. Just looking for guidance.

Thanks.
