Sorry for not making myself clear
When I got the bike I was given another set of wheels with it these are the mavic wheels with the 6 speed freewheel these have the campag hubs
The wheels on the bike were 27x 11/4 but not in good condition
It's whether the mavic wheels would fit correctly

If the Mavic wheels are 27 inch then they would fit without any problem. Maybe having to adjust the brake blocks to the new rims.
If the Mavics are 700c they would still fit, but, you would possibly need longer drop brakes calipers to accommodate the slightly smaller diameter wheels.
Edit, looking at the front calipers, you may if needed get away without changing the brakes as there looks to be a bit of wriggle room in them.

This is what I was wondering
It's the brakes that will be the issue
Can you still get tyres for the mavic rims ?

Shouldn't be a problem.

After lots more cleaning and messing about I've finally got the brakes to work with the mavic rims which are 27x1 inch
Next problem where do I get tyres to fit them.??????
Wil put up some more pics in the next couple of days

I bought a pair of 27x1 Panaracer pasela pt tyres a couple of weeks back. Very nice tyres.
Quite easy to fit as well.

Schwalbe HS159 gumwall have been fine for me so far - roll ok, no flats (touch wood!) and easy to fit.

Spa have them at £11.50: https://www.spacycles.co.uk/m2b0s122p2674/SCHWALBE-HS159

Managed to get it rideable
Couple of things to tweak but it rode very nicely
What are thoughts on white bar tape?

I'd sooner have red or black Cloth tape (Tressorex)
