As a result you see all the new tire tech and high quality tires only marketed as 700C's or what ever the normal size is for other types of bikes sold today.
So you might think about that some. I got rid of my favorite ride 10 years ago because the choice of 27" road tires was so limited.
I was seeing that as I got back into cycling last year, 27" was a thing of the past, and it makes sense that nothing new is coming out for them. My plan is to repaint the 1979 Centurian that I have now and ride it, along with the mid-90s Rocky Mountain Sherpa that I bought off Craigslist in August, till next summer, If I am still riding a lot I will look at something new in the road bike world. I can see that a lot of improvements have taken place and I am sure I will enjoy something new more.
