Replacing old Shimano 105 BR-1050 caliper
Hi there,
I've recently had my front caliper stolen (Shimano 105 BR-1050; recessed, 47-57 reach) from my dear mid-80s commuter road bike, and am having a very hard time finding a fitting replacement caliper. I'm wondering whether I might use the occasion to upgrade to something else. Any recommendations on:
a) where to find a replacement caliper of the original type;
b) what to get instead? I'd like to stick with a (vintagey, ideally) Shimano. I'm wondering what might fit the bill for old recessed mid-reach models; whether to opt for dual-pivot brakes in case; whether to consider getting super-SLR's instead of the SLR's I've had.
I generally don't know much about these things, so any guidance would be much appreciated. Cheers!
