Froogle, now Google Product Search, didn't turn one up either.

Sad thing is there was a pair on Ebay right before I got the bike, but I did not want to buy anything until I measured. IRO has been horrible at returning emails and so I did not want to mess with asking them.

Top of hte page 57mm+ reach. There's no way that's not enough. Why the hell does a modern frame like the Jamie Roy need long reaches? Clearance for fenders? Or are you running different size wheels?
