Ok, so I made the classic fail of assuming a modern 49mm reach road brake would be long enough for some older steel road forks. Didn't realise it wouldn't until I'd fitted the bloody thing, of course.
So, it's a brand new, silver (actually quite a dark silver, darker than the product pics) 105 front brake, 39-49mm reach. It's never been used but, like I said, I did fit it and you can tell that the centering adjustment screw has been used, which is why I can't return it for a refund.
