Cheers!
If the bike is designed around a 27 x 1 and 1/4 tire (like the Sekine SHS 271 for example), I think you can fit a 700 x 35c. There are a lot of variables so you need to try it out. I know with my Sekine SHS 271, I'm running 27 x 1 and 1/4 tires that measure out closer to 1 and 3/8 so I'm confident I could get a 35c to fit.
