CdM, just because the bike is riding on 27 in. wheels does it mean that it was built for them or does it just mean that there is room for them? I have an early 60's Cinelli Mod. B that I am pretty sure was built for 27 in. wheels but I just bought an late 60's early 70's (I think) Benotto and it is on 700c wheels with long reach Campagnolo brakes and there is plenty of room for 27s' and I am thinking that it might have been made for them also. Any idea?

If you look at the photos, you can clearly see that there is plenty of clearance even with 27". the 4 mm in brake reach is still quite considerable. It might still work but not likely to have that much space. I have already sent the photos to Verona and I should get a reply within a few days.
