Dunlop 27" 40 hole? I might have an SA-marked 27" sitting around, but I forget whether it is a front or a rear - and, then again, it's still not a genuine period rim.

Longest ride that didn't repeat where I had gone before was about 20/25 miles, if I recall right, out and back to one of the bike shops, but that is a measurement "as the crow flies." Considering all the convoluted directions I took to get there, I think it came out to 32-34 when all was said and done - it isn't easy to do any decent long riding in this town.
I've probably done longer by simply duplicating my ride three times over in the Gables, but I don't bother to count those circular adventures.
