youre wrong about hooked 27's. I have some: Araya super-hard anodized hooked rims. Theyre even deep-section aero rims too... tre modern for 1982.
the major functional difference between 700c and 27" is how hard it is to find tires. Since you now have two new tires, your 27 inchers are every bit as good as 700c for your 4k ride.
have fun.

Right, I read your post. Availability. But I thought there might have been some other reason that you preferred them pertaining to their function or efficiency, lifetime, whatever.
