Which medium reach framesets

[wassertreter]

Looking for a vintage road(-ish) frameset for medium reach brakes (47-57mm). Unfortunately most sellers don't specify that (and most framesets seem to be for short reach anyway).

What are nice frames to look for? If a frame has fender eyelets, does that mean it's usually more than short reach so they fit?

Something like Koga Randonneur maybe. Think I've seen them with Cantis or Centrepulls, not 100% sure about Calipers.

Thanks.

There are an awful lot of questions and answers to your question .

ie 27" or 700c wheels
Touring or more racier style ?

Re:

Oh, right, I do prefer roadish geometry and 700C would also be good because I have a few wheelsets in that size. Cheers.

Re:

Also an idea on the size frame you require might help

Campagnolo or Shimano

Tubular or clincher

Just checked my 80's Puch Mirage and that has n aprox drop of 60

From memory my King of Mercia in road geometry takes a medium drop brake, I think it was about 49mm or so. I remember as my Dura Ace didn't fit and so run some RX100 or similar.

Been looking around a bit and there seem to be a few Peugeot models with mid reach caliper configuration. But hard to get the info from random classifieds sellers.

One is from a Galibier, the other from a PH11 model. Would you reckon those are medium reach (47-57mm)?

PS: Weimann 500 seems to be 42/43 ~ 56/57 depending on the source, so maybe I'm closing in.
