I thought this would be easy, but I'm having fits trying to find a good front brake for my Holdsworth project. The bike came with a Dia Compe Gt front brake (mounting screw sawed down) mounted backwards in the rear with a Blackburn rear rack. No front brake. I want to stay with sidepulls, but will be using all Campy Gran Sport otherwise including brake levers. I need another font Dia Compe front sidepull brake mod. 630 with a quick release and barrel adjuster. Can anyone help? If so, message me the price and details.

At this point I would also consider any nice set of vintage centerpull calipers or preferabley long reach side pulls.
