I have one of the green 86's above that I'm tinkering with for commuting and by default and habit with my other touring bike I ordered some 27x1 1/4 panaracer pt's like you assumed. I was about to put them on, then I stumbled across some NOS 27x1 3/8 Tioga Bloodhound tires with tan sidewalls that I liked. Initially I put them on just to see if they'd fit with the SKS longboards I put on the bike (which they do) but I've since liked them enough for commuting that I've left them on. Obviously the PTs would be my go-to tire, but if for any reason you were looking to go wider, just wanted to point out that even with fenders, it would take 27x 1 3/8s.
