Mmmm...I have an Ibis Spanky frameset which I have build with 7700 Dura Ace calipers.
The blocks are as low as they can be but I need the rear a bit lower (long story...running SS with eccentric hub).
Are there calipers with longer drop...I measure the DA at about 48mm...just another 5mm should do it....and nice calipers too

Recently bought these for my winter bike, and they work well enough to have locked up my back wheel at least once:

'09 Enigma Eclipse with SRAM.
'10 Tifosi CK7 Audax Classic with assorted bits for the wet weather
'08 Boardman Hybrid Comp for the very wet weather.0 -

Yep, powerful and pretty - you won't go far wrong with the R650's
