"When Steve Flagg reviewed his inventory reports recently, one item
jumped off the page-27-inch tires. "We were totally unprepared for
the demand in 27-inch tires," said Flagg, president of Quality
Bicycle Products.

"Wayne D. Gray, vice-president of KHS/FreeAgent Bicycles, noticed
the same trend. "We're seeing a lot of demand for them. It's people
taking their old Schwinn Varsity out of the garage and to a shop for
new tires and a tuneup." "
