77 Centurion Super Elite Original wheel size?

I have a frame in need of rims and would like to confirm if the originals would have been 27". I found a reference for 1978 Centurions that would suggest original rims were likely Araya 27" alloys with sunshine hubs and a 5 speed cassette (Suntour) with gears somewhere between 13 and 30 using Suntour Cyclone Derailleurs'. I'm thinking about trying to put it back to original specs but I am open to any suggestions/opinions. I really don't know what I'm doing I just took a notion to get an old road bike that would actually fit me and came across this frame. I have a few old road bikes I've picked up over the years all of which are to tall for me and I still have what's left of my old volkscycle (basket case)from back in the 80's. I am wanting to get back into riding again and am hoping this Centurion will do the trick. Thanks for any help your willing to give.
