Ended up going with 700c wheels after all, the brakes do reach. I had bought this wheelset ages ago, and it was nicer than the steel 27" wheels that came with the Carlton. Those wheels got sold to a Peugeot enthusiast who wanted period correct over stopping in the rain.
Got a set of new tires and chains online.
I put on new levers and bar tape, replaced cable as necessary, and put on some nice pedals.
It's a smooth ride, but a little cramped for me, so off it goes!
