Do it, if only to piss off the ******-bag holier than thou purists around here. You know, the clowns petaling around on their $300 breakless Windsors.
PS: You can do the 27" to 700c swap but it will effectively lower the overall frame a bit. May lead to an increased opportunity for pedal strike on corners. And you may have issues with the brakes, assuming your bright enough to realize you need one.

This is Africa, 1943. War spits out its violence overhead and the sandy graveyard swallows it up. Her name is King Nine, B-25, medium bomber, Twelfth Air Force. On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
