I have a schwinn circuit with an after market front fork. It is all black, and while it looks good I would rather go with a racing style front fork. No eyelets, chrome and cro mo. Anyway I have a viscount with a chromoly front fork that is also chrome but the wheels on this bike are 27 1 1/4. My question, can I put the chrome forks on the circuit? I have some long reach brakes. What am I missing? will this work?

viscount came with 27 1/4 wheels. the fork is nice, cro-mo, and will look great with the circuit. The circuit is designed for wheels that are 700 c. Physically the bike can handle the slightly bigger diameter tire.

will the ride be affected? Is this a bad idea?
