Having an issue with the brake reach. Front reach is 60mm and rear is 55mm.
I had intended to use 105 r7000 calipers but these obviously will be too short.Does anyone have any thoughts on why the frame would be designed to only accommodate a longer reach caliper?
My thoughts are
1) for more tyre clearance?
2) is it designed to use a center pull brake?Also any suggestions on brake options with this in mind would be appreciated

Picked up this frame on here a few months back. Finally started the build so thought I would share progress.
Krj contacted Yates when she originally picked up the frame from Ebay. All they were able to share was that the frame was built in 2016.
Parts sourced so far include:
XT T780 hubs laced to condor (32h) supremacy rims.
GP conti 4000s 28mm
105 5700 10spd; shifts f&r mechs
5700 cassette 11-32
Ritchey classic drop bars

Thanks for everyones input on the brakes...I got the reach measured at my LBS and @TheShipwright you're correct. It's 57mm at both front at back. I will try and source a pair of BR-R650s. Spa cycles in harrogate looks to have some but I will phone to double check as demand is obviously crazy right now!
