News flash- Shimano has finally recognized the need for a variety of brakes for road bikes and has introduced Mega Long Reach caliper brakes. They are found in the new Ultegra group featuring scrolled styling cues from the birth of the Shimano 600 group from the early 80's. It is speced with a red Low Normal quick release lever and a propietary 8.25mm OS duraluminum pivot bolt. Some frame modification may be necessary.
