Alternatively, you can buy the RSX version that already has the long bolts and ordinary nuts, as well. In fact, I have one on my old Witcomb: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British/Witcomb_UK_FR.htm You can buy these individually - i.e. you need not buy a pair. They should be available from either Sheldon or Rivendell.

Anyway, you can use the 105 front caliper at the rear of the old frame and a new RSX (intended for the front) at the front. Best regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
