All this discussion of 27" tires reminds me - I have FOUR Avocet "Fasgrip K" tyres available in the 27" size, they are tan sidewall, 28mm cross section, Kevlar belted, I believe these were the best ever.
Also I have TWO Super Champion M-58 rims, New never laced, mirror polished, red label rims available. 36hole and 27".
Special package 125 + ship for all items. If you have a 27" bike this is the package for you.

Hi all,
I'd like to take a quick poll here - reply to the list or to me directly, whichever you wish.
Not to detract from the few manufacturers that still do make 27" tires, but I personally would like to see more choices in this size. I have a beautiful set of 22mm Veloflex Pave out in the garage ( just waiting to go out on our upcoming Colnago ride, thanks to a recent list post), and I have two sets of the fantastic Gran Bois tires on bikes I ride often. But these tires are all 700c.
Here are the quick questions:
1) Do you own and spend enough time riding vintage bikes with 27" rims such that you would LIKE to see more purchasing choices in tires than you currently have ??
2) If available, would you be interested in buying set(s) of the Gran Bois tires ?? These tires have been discussed here on the list before, and reviewed in a recent issue of Bicycle Quarterly. Price point MIGHT be in the $50-$60 range, based on prices I see for the 700c. models
3) If your answered YES to question 2 above, CURRENTLY.. how many pair of such a tire might you be interested in ??
4) If your answered YES to question 2 above, which ONE size would you
like to see? (These are accurate widths):
(choose ONE)
a) 25 mm
b) 29 mm
c) 31 mm
