Engo-Thx for the kind words. The front brakes fit at the top of the calipers but are easily adjusted to the rims. The rear wheel presented no problems at all. Most of these bikes, at least the one's I've seen, can take a 27" wheel/tire combo. For that size, filing work will be required.
USAZorro- A big thx to you also. I am from Polish/Russian, Hungarian/Austrian heritage, hence my screen name. I'm also real good a shinning things up.
