Weinmann 730 long drop caliper brakes

[Metal8]

Have a 27" wheels of steel road bike and looking to upgrade to 700c alloys.
Only thing I would need is longer drop bolt on side-pull caliper brakes.
Ones on just now are Weinmann 730 short drop but I know they did long drop.
Anyone have them?

Cheers

Re:

I'm pretty sure I have a pair. Whereabouts are you though, as I'd rather avoid posting, if poss?

I think I have a Weinmann 730/600 set with the rear being the longer variety, I thought the number represented the maxiumum drop no? you might only need to replace the back brake as the front could be okay.
I'm away until Monday but happy to post if they'll suit

Many thanks for the prompt replies!

I'm in Edinburgh walkmanman.

I'll check the front drop, you might be right.
