Yep good eyes, looks like he must have switched to 27" when he added the rear brake? Too bad, because the rear caliper looks like it has a long enough reach for 700c. Front brake definitely is at a funky angle with the 27"rim, pad hits at a 45 degree angle, tiny amount of wear on front pads, looks like he relied mostly on the back caliper. When I find some time, I will post some more photos.
