I think I've heard of that chap before... I may even of met him at a jumble?? I've spotted the odd gb caliper on eBay and have been tempted but you're right, it's quite close clearance and most of the older ones have too deep a drop.
The support, as Prav said, was very popular way back as I believe some sprinters complained of too much movement, I'm guessing it was when saddles were fixed further forward than we do today and also the seat fittings weren't as good. When I tested mine the other day it slipped down even though I tightened it more than I thought it would need.
Your springer sounds perfect, when can I collect? ;)
What's happening this Sunday?? I'm so far out of re loop these days :(
