Wow, I hope, really hope that's not technically correct. I ordered 700c wheels, the box arrived labeled 700c wheels; I happened to have a 27" rim (laced, ironically, to a Campy track hub) and put it next to the wheel I ordered, and the newer wheel is shorter. I have not tried mounting a tire yet, but...
And I had turned down generous offers from C&V/BF members for 27" wheels (and also tubulars).
Thanks for the input on Zeus hoods, so far not a single Zeus component on the bike. And there never has been.
By the way, when I inquired before ordering the wheels, the seller (Velomine) told me the hub was set up for a lock ring on one side and a single freewheel on the other. Looking at the wheel, it has the additional threads for a lock ring on BOTH sides. Bonus! Presuming I can even find more cogs, I can run two for genuine flip-flop.
