Best bet (or the most easily obtainable) would be a pair of white plastic Bluemel "lightweights". These are usually offered on eBay by one dealer in particular who seems to have cornered the market on them. Do an eBay search and you'll most likely find 'em for $49. They fit 27"/700 and even 26" in a pinch. Comes with hardware. Perfect finishing touch.
