Re-Tire a Spesh Langster Toyko?

I recently bought a 2009 Langster Toyko to putter around town when I'm not on one of my road bikes and as I've begun swapping parts out, I want to put bigger tires on it, but there doesn't look to be much clearance beyond the 700x23's that are on it....Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?......I'll probably lose the gold deep v Alex 32 wheels at the same time...
Thanks

I'm pretty sure 28mm's are the max you can put on a Langster, and I think it's tire and and frame dependent. Some people's Langster frames have the clearance for them some don't, 25's should fit though as long as they don't run really big.

I ran 28mm Gatorskins last on my '09 Langster and they fit but anything larger won't really fit.
