Checked, even at lowest pad setting standard reach single pivot calipers can't reach 700c rims on this bike. Not a fan of long reach calipers so if I go forward with standard reach brakes I will need to make an adapter as I refuse to pay $40+ for drop bolts. Besides, those solutions would be too easy.
