DiaCompe has dusted of the old molds and started producing the
DC750 with 60mm-78mm reach again. I believe Tektro have several side pull models but they keep changing the names and finishes so I can only find the
R556 or
R559 w 53-73 mm reach. I'm sure there are other brands out there. But I wouldn't buy any of these as there are such abundance of perfectly decent Weinmann Vainqueur 999, Altenburger Concorde and Shimano Tourney's out there.
