The "long reach" brakes you mentioned are the same "mid-reach" brakes I am
interested in. When I say long-reach, I assume something like the venerable
Tektro R559. I'm waiting on an update on some R650s but the NIB brakes you
have are appealing.
Ryan, as for brake levers that others have
My bad...those levers look like they're sold out. On the Riv site, the
silver ones with black hoods for $70 appear to be sold out as well...but
may be available second-hand on eBay or elsewhere.
I will say this; I found this combo vastly superior to the venerable and
venerated Campy SR brakes
And paired with TRP levers a great combination...TRP levers come in black
as well at 64.99 if it's black Grand Cru you're after

The VO grand cru brakes are amazing with salmon pads. Such incredible
modulation and braking power. Also beautiful

Thanks Garth!
I'll wait and see if some folks are looking to offload a set of the brakes
before I pull the trigger. I've got a coupon for VO, but then it throws $19
for shipping afterwards so this website is actually cheaper!
Cheers,
Collin

I ordered the same frame Collin and ordered the VO brakes from
Northwestbicycle. I used a promo code "bikesrock" for 15% off, for $148.75
total. They have black and silver.
