interesting. I assume that's not the original rim size (tbh I am not sure when 27" was left behind, only that all the old road bikes like this I've worked on were that size). if so, why find new wheels for it?

how did you find working on a bike like this? myself, I find it refreshing to be able to work on something so simple
