david b asked:
I own 2 bicycles that have 27 inch wheel sets, what am I going to do when I need a new rim, or a new tires? Both bikes have nice lugged chrome-moly steel frames, and top of the line components for their time,” the 1970’s”. Why did the bicycle industry change to 700cm wheels? 27inch wheels work just fine.
