Hello All.
right here is my conundrum I am hoping someone can help with. I have a 1953 Hetchins Magnum Opus (Striaght Stay) frame i want to build up. I really want to run as modern components as possible, ideally the Campagnolo Potenza 11 but i want to run it on 27inch wheels, I don't want to put on long reach callipers.
So my question is in a few parts, all linked.
Where can i get good, modern 27inch wheels, or failing that does anyone have good 27inch period wheels they're willing to part with.
Can i put an 11 speed cassette on them?
If not, can i get Campagnolo 7 or 8 speed on a 27 inch wheel instead, id happily go for 90's record on the Hetchins.
Thoughts, ideas, help and guidance much appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
