WTB: Single pivot, mid-reach, nutted brakes
My preference would be for Suntour Superbe 4700, but I'm open to any options available.

Just to clarify, what actual reach do you need?

I have a set of Weinmann Carrera brakes, new in box, that might have that reach. I'll check.

Shimano
I have a set of SHIMANO - light action I think. Or SLX? Not sure. Similar to this: VeloBase.com - Component: Shimano BR-L490, Light Action
I can send a photo of them if you think it might work for you.
Pretty sure they sell for $1,000,000 on eBay. But I can make you a deal!
Let me know.

Pics would be great. They're mid reach?
Nice, would love some details when you have time.

Ready...... Shoot. Aim!
apologies - they are recessed, not nutted. i was so caught up in the 10 minutes of the OSCARS i was watching, I must have gotten carried away replying to your post.
in case someone else things they are interested, here are some pics. These might be considered short - reach.

Brock, the Wenmann Carrera brakes have 60mm reach. I also have a set of Weinmann 605 brakes, which are a bit lighter than the Carreras but not as shiny new.

I have some Suntour 4700s, with matching levers. I can dig them out and send pics tomorrow. PM me if you are still ISO.
