long reach break caliper for use on 700c wheel in frame made for 27" wheels
any ideas or experience with this? is it just a long reach caliper i need?

I've been using these brakes http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Tektro-Tektro-R556-Dual-Pivot-Caliper-Brake-55-73-mm-Very-Deep-Drop-Nut-Fitting--Front-and-Rear-79.htm for a year or so.
Not very pretty, but cheap and do the job. Nut fitting as well, so you don't have to faff about drilling forks or putting back brakes on the front, etc.

@ Dangeruss - It was dirt, not rust :-) Both rims are alloy, rear's a Rigida AS23X. Front's just labeled 'Rigida group'. Could give them a wipe and take a pic if you're interested. Must warn you - they're not fully mine, so will have to check if it's cool to pass them on if you do decide you want them. Let me know.

thanks ptn they look good,

wayne will you sell it/bring it to polo 2nite? so i can see if it fits

Yep, I'll try and remember. They have a similar drop to the ones in the link.

guide prices?

yea how much you looking for the gazelle?

53cm bajan?

thinking about £150 for gazelle frame & forks - might sell complete, but would have to be a very good offer (sugino 75's and profile hubs, da headset)

approx £300 for the Pearson complete

after a quill stem and drops - ideally as old and fucked up looking as possible.

don't want anything bent or mashed just specifically after bits that are tarnished or corroded or scratched up or have flaking chrome etc you know what i mean

anyone got?

Wanted: Any old front wheel - 26 x 1 3/8

WANTED: A 53ish frame and forks - ideally with BB and headset too. Just a beater will do me for now as my fav bike is out of action for two weeks. Nowt too flash!

I have a 53cm surly steamroller for sale Rory. It measures 54.4 c-c along the top tube. BB and crank set included. It's the 07 model, in a nice gloss black. Completely De-stickered. Chainring is sugio mighty 42t, cranks arms are stronglight 170mm powdercoated hipster white!

Not really a beater as such, but a solid frame and not flashy in the slightest. No dents, a few minor scratches. I'm looking for £180 all in. And I can drop it off in manchester asap.

jeez... you didnt keep that for long did you???

Ha! Craig, for me that was long. I've just got the same frame in a 56cm, it was hurting my back a little, otherwise I would of kept it. I fucking love my steamroller.

Hopefully it will continue to roll on the streets of manchester if rory takes it :)

i reckon the 56 stremrollers gonna last maybe another day or two a week at most before Dr revolving bike Chan gets another, and another, and another.......

Chan if ure on the look out for a new bike you should go down the route i took, Ive got an old Orbit, 58 inches, perfect for polo, vellodrome racing, alleycats or just some hardcore flips n grinds n shit
