Considering drop bolt/plate arrangements and/or longer reach brakes. The pad holders don’t have a lot of clearance to the tire. The 951 has an extreme reach 75-95mm!! The 900 I think up to 85mm. So curiosity reigns supreme! Drop mounts shouldn’t increase any sponginess but a bit less elegant in ways.

I have never seen either of the those in the flesh, would imagine very few were ever deployed here in the states, gotta be some of the rarest Wienmann's.

The 750's are way to flexy for my taste so the 9XX's would be a non starter, the huge gap aesthetically also.
