You know what, I just realized that these photos were probably taken with your standard consumer digicam set to wide angle. There's probably a good bit of barrel distortion on that photo, which would make the frame and brakes and anything along the edges look stretched out. So, in short, that's probably a bad pic to judge the reach of the brakes. Here's another clue: It's a late-70s Fuji Cambridge III.

Thanks,
