• How hard was it to find a modern style brake with a lot of drop? I'm going to need one with about 60-70 mm... to be fair i haven't looked anywhere myself yet.

    I only needed about 56mm which wasn't hard to find, but all had the newer allen key 'nut' and a shorter bolt. Cavendish had a Dia Compe that had the old bolts, but the drop was too long! I reckon that would sort you out. TBH I can't really remember the details, it may have been single pivot, but its still a caliper, its shiny and was only £13 if memory serves.

    Edit: I'm pretty sure it was this but in silver:
    which seems to be dual pivot...short term memory not so hot
