Would 700c size wheels fit my '79 Schwinn road bike?


i have a Super le Tour and the old wheels are 27 1/4'' and i need a new wheel set

You may have a problem with the brakes. The rim diameter may be to small for the brake pads to reach the rim properly. Check with your local shop.
...maybe, you'd have to make sure the brakes could adapt
They should be OK with minor adjustments, if any. The tires off the 27" won't fit, but the tubes are interchangeable.
The new 700c wheels will cost more than the bike is worth...Might want to check into a used road bike...
Nope.

I had an old Schwinn Varsity. Heavy as hell (steel wheels). I wouldn't recommend getting 700c wheels for that bike, you'll need to get adapters for the brake calipers. You might as well buy a new bike, or get a cheap secondhand bike from EBay or Craigslist.
