Around 1990 I bought a black Cannondale road bike with 27" x 1&1/4" tires. That thing was very punishing to ride. I was out on a 60 km (40 miles) ride and turned around less than halfway into that ride because ever time I rode over a transverse crack in the road it felt like Mohammed Ali was punching me in the kidneys. I honestly thought that I was going to have to walk the bike home.
I was gong to put 700C x 40mm wheels and tires on it but the 40mm tires rubbed the chainstays. I sold that bike and used my MIELE Tange Infinity bike instead.
Cheers
