Maybe it is because you vaguely said so below?

Then we'll suited for a road bike that my dads wants that I'll eventually put together.
If this is not the case why not just clearly state what size wheels you are looking for?

If your bike comes with 27" wheels, but you don't want to replace them with other 27" wheels, how will the brakes work? Or are you turning it into a track bike and thus don't need brakes? This is logic, not magic.
