Greetings campers and Suntour scavengers

Shamelessly throwing some seriously "incorrect" components onto a project frame that was designed for those very long reach centerpull brakes on the rear (Weinmann 750 or similar reach), which I just hate fooling with. In the distant past I avoided that particular irritant on another frame by installing Suntour Cyclone calipers with a reach of about 65mm. (I'm not proud, and I still have plenty of other irritants.) Haven't been able to find any Cyclone calipers on ebay in recent months, so if anybody out there has a decent looking pair of long reach Cyclones they would part with, with hex nut mounting, for a "reasonable" price, please talk to me.

Thanks Larry "brakeless in Bruceton" Osborn Bruceton Mills, West Virginia USA (recently crowned the "most neurotic state", but of course nobody asked for MY opinion.)
