I'm pretty sure all Rom/Reds were spec'd to the same 54mm brake reach, even the canti versions. There might have been slight production variations, but if so they were small. Toyo doesn't seem to miss by much. On the sidepull models the brakes used affect tire clearance somewhat, though. My canti-Rom's been my primary bike since ought-six http://cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc087-joebroach0306.html and still gets compliments despite the paint chips.
