Calipers, not levers. I was thinking of using vintage "normal reach" calipers in the place of the newer long-reach 55mm ones.
How and why I typed levers twice below is a mystery to me.

To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 2:03 PM The 2011 arrival of the Grant Peterson Designed Soma San Marcos has me thinking a bit about a new bike and a build plan. I mostly have Campagnolo components that I'd like to re-use to build up the San Marcos frame. I was thinking that it would be nice to use vintage Campagnolo or Modolo Brake Levers to sort of "match" the other, newer Campag stuff. Older Campagnolo Levers seem to have a maximum brake reach of 52mm. Has anyone on the list successfully used these on one of the frames that take 55mm reach brakes? I guess I don't really fancy picking up a pair of Tektros, but I suppose I might have to. As always, thanks in advance for your help, Sean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
