I know there are many nice tires in the 700c size, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to find a good high performance 27 inch tire, especially in the narrow widths. Is 27 inch dead? I wonder since many of the older bikes take 27 inch wheels. Any recommendations for a good high performance 27 inch tire or is Ebay the best place to see if a vintage tire turns up? I recently purchased two old 27 x 1inch Michelin Elans off Ebay.
