And yes, still being produced and sold.
Sold on a production bike? No.
And no one uses 27" as a 'layman's term' for 700c. They are 2 distinct tire sizes, and you are giving out faulty information to tell a guy just getting back into cycling that they are interchangeable. And it's 700c not 700cc.
You are seriously talking out of your ass. Talking like Yoda doesn't make you right.
Furthermore, I don't participate in the 'SS is for *******' arguments. SS's are great for people getting back into cycling and are only familiar with old friction shifting and are on a budget. Nothing wrong with a bike with 2 brakes and freewheel.
People with no sense of humor and misinformation turn more people off to cycling than the existence of a fixed cog on the other side of their flip-flop.
