After 2 years, I'm finally getting around to finishing my (Chas) Roberts. She has 27" rims and for the first time since about 1973, I need to buy a set of tires in that size. Anyone with experience in this size tire care to share their experiences? I'm looking for what is probably the obvious - feel fast, comfy and not harsh, gum/tan side wall. I'm not concerned about bead type or kevlar reinforced.

Thanks in advance,
