I know nothing about them, but they might be worth a look if you want a wider 27-inch tire.

Thanks for the tip (and to dddd as well, seems I can't quote both). I bought a pair from 365cycles on ebay that worked out to $41.50 taxed and shipped, which is cheaper than Nashbar. They are indeed embossed Kenda, Made in Taiwan. Max. width on Weinmann 1-1/4 rims is barely 32mm.
