Now you have me surprised - for the second time in this thread. My '82 720/28 came equipped with 700C's (and from what wrk101 read off from the Trek catalog, this is supposedly original spec), and I'm not entirely sure that you can shove 27"s - particularly with 1-3/8 tires - on it - hard enough to shove 25C's with fenders under there in the first place:



Incidentally, which brand of 1-3/8 were you using back then? Michelin?

The Italian BB is a hoot. Makes me wonder how many other 720's have 'em.

Take care,
