27inch wheel advice

I'm actually a mountain biker, and know next to nothing about road bikes and riding them.

However my dad owns a very old road touring bike and it needs a new back wheel. Apparently the wheels are 27inch, which has been effectively replaced by a slighty smaller 700C wheel.

Does anyone know if there any good shops that still stock or can get hold of 27inch wheels? Preferably around the South East, Reading area.

Cheers people :D

    I would guess if they had something it it would be pretty basic. Your best bet would be to get one built.
    In either case your best looking around the smaller bikes shops that have been there for years, these are the ones likely to have stock hidden away.
    27's are becoming a little harder to find these days.
