I use Michelin BibSports on several of my bikes, but they're all old stock from over 20 years ago. Are they still available? I also have a set of 700x18mm Michelin HiLite SuperComp slicks I picked up on closeout someplace many years ago and wish I could find more.
Re: 27" tires... Continental makes a nice 27x1-1/8" gumwall tire that's fairly cheap and durable.
