I have both 700c and 27" Pasellas on some of my bikes.  On Saturday's monthly ride up Meriden Mountain, my route went up the long hill to Shuttle Meadow reservoir.  They had done a lot of work on that road last year, and it had a first coat of asphalt put on in the fall.  Well, imagine my surprise to find almost the entire mile-plue length devoid of tar and instead 1-1/2 to 2" gravel!  Luckily, my bike of choice was a Bridgestone RB-T, set up with bomb-proof wheels (700c) and 32cc Pasellas.  The bike took it in stride. (They were the kevlar-belt Tourguards).
