If they are original 27", that could cause issues with tire clearance and brake fitment on a new frame.

If you really like the Voyageur, have you considered just looking for a replacement? Ones in great shape are still quite common in my CL area. Theres a 23" 1980 in seemingly pristine shape for $204 right now.
I switched over to 700s with free hub years ago on the voyageur. At one time or another, I have owned up to four 80's vintage Voyageurs that I have restored. I'm kinda ready to move on from the vintage thing and get a brand new frame. Thanks for your suggestions.
