I get asked Can I convert a road bike with 700c wheels to 26" wheels? I walk through the conversion process and give my answer. This would apply to a bikes with 27" wheels also.
Oh, and even if there were bosses from for cantilever or v-brakes like on a hybrid, the brakes would still likely not reach the rims.
And any kind of hub type brakes (drum, disc, roller) would like damage the fork (and maybe frame) if they were not made to handle to torque of these particular brakes. Road bike frames are built for rim brakes, so expect the torque to be located at those locations.
