Hello all,

a quick question that hopefully someone will know the answer...I have a mid 50's British machine that was originally built for 27" Continentals , are these true 700c's the same as today's 700c ' s , would they be 36h or 32/40h, obviously it will make tyre choice far easier. Ideas anyone???
