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.
RRP £40, internetz price around £30, forumenger price - £25?
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
