my 620 is staying with 27" wheels. a frame is strongest when at it's original configuration, and i don't need the grief. changing everything to modern components kind of defeats buying a vintage bicycle, if i need 'modern' then my other bike has brifters and 700c wheels.
my vintage/classic bicycles give me the old skool experience...and those old 27" wheels/tires are rather comfy.
