Just out of curiosity I measured the distance from the fork and brake bridge holes to the brake tracks on my 700C wheel Surly Cross Check. They measure about 78 mm so only BMX-type very long reach caliper brakes would work. Apparently these holes are really intended for fender, reflector or rack mounts.
