“27 speed ?”
Yep.
“A 27-speed bike is just the same (as a 10-speed), except that there are 3 chainwheels in front and 9 sprockets in back. There are still just two derailers, and two control levers.
The control on the left side shifts among the 2 or 3 front chainwheels; the one on the right shifts among the 5-9 rear sprockets.”

27 speed ? 9x3 obviously. My commuter is a 21-speed.

Nine speed cassettes, or rear sprockets, are quite common. With three chain rings on the front, that gives you twenty-seven speeds.
