Begs the question of what does the 27 refer to? Anyone have one of these that can shed some light? Components say 95, but the frame is tig-weld on bikepedia as 96. Thanks for any info in advance
Why wouldn't a 27" wheel fit? Did you try one?
The holes in the fork are for a low-rider style front rack:

27 x 22.2 on the fork probably means that the inside diameter of the steerer tube is 22.2mm (which is pretty standard) and the fork crown race seat is 27.0mm (which is the JIS standard).
Why'd they call it "Kronos" when it's obviously a touring bike?
