Thanks for the link, btw is there a place I can look up info on these bikes? I can't seem to find much.

I'll look into wider 27s but the reason I want 700s is of course for the choices in tires.

well I have another bike with 700s and test fitted the front wheel with the brakes I have now and I can adjust the pads to reach the new rim so no issues with reach.
