If acquiring just as a frameset, I wouldn't waste the effort going with 27". Mine is sort of a mash-up of stuff on hand to scrounge for build. Most of it older than 1987 components but also some later. On 700 x 35c with very tight fitting Axiom Paceline DLX mudguards. The reflective center is superb. Took lots of fitting to make it work but I love this rig. Have yet to final the bar wrap, change bars and stem.
