700x32's on the Kilo TT....
(Pics requested from a few folks)
Yes, I managed to fit a pair of 32's on the Kilo.... just barely! I was using a pair of after-market wheels with 23's (had bought for another build that never reached completion). The 32's would not fit those rims, so I dug out the old original wheels from the Kilo... let's just say I learned how to true wheels in a hurry! Brakes could be moved in a bit now, but those wheels were pretty rough. Rode to work the first day with the calipers opened up just so the wheels would clear the pads. It was that bad.

Good to know, I love 32mm tires for urban commuting. Not any reason to go to anything smaller (if you are not a licensed racer).
