I have recently acquired a lightweight frame, pedigree unknown, 531 butted frame tubes, no transfers or head badge, possibly a 70's/80's Raleigh or Peugot? I have got to the point where I need a set of wheels, problem is, I am not sure what size, I tried the 700c front wheel from my hybrid in the front forks, hubwise it was ok, but there was no clearance at all at the fork crown, you would not have been able to pump the tyre up.
Does this mean that the frame is designed for 27by one and a quarter wheels. What are my best options, bearing in mind that I am trying to do this on a shoestring!
