in short, no. That is a massive amount of drop - why do you need so much? are you running 650c or 27" wheels on a 700c frame?
Most long drops are up to 57mm drop & that is plenty for most mudguard clearances - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-r650-du ... e-caliper/0 -
its a giant SCR C2 carbon frame with 700c wheels. I have a set of 105 brakes from my old bike that wont even look at them.
I see Tektro do an R559 73mm drop but they are FUGLY as hell

Can you visit your LBS & test fit a 57mm long drop caliper? I'd be surprised if it didn't fit ok.0

sorted, I followed the guide by sheldon to measure drop which is clearly not used as a set of 57mm shimanos fitted spot on.
£70 lighter right enough
Perfectly good set of 105s sitting unloved now. 0
