WTB: long reach brake calipers and Headset

[j. hughes]

For a build I'm finishing up for a friend of mine.
Don't need extra long reach, just long. I think they are typically 47-57mm?
Something like the shimano R450. If anyone has just a rear that would work too (better actually) because somehow I've managed to hold on to half of a pair.
Thanks in advance.

I have a pair of brand new in the box silver Nashbar by Tektro dual pivots I'd ship to you for $30. I got them for a custom frame that was never delivered.

I put those Tektros on an old Trek that started life with 27 inch wheels and I converted to 700C. They work great.

Just FYI, I have had good luck with the Tektros too.

Think I have the brake levers taken care of.

Adjusted title because I will need a standard 1 1/8 threadless headset for this project.
Something of decent quality with some life left and not terribly heavy.
Doesn't need to be King or anything, though.
Thanks again.

fwiw, there arent too many (any?) "bad" threadless headsets. you're probably better off buying a brand new Ritchey headset than trying to find a low end one used. this one is $18, brand new. i have one on my fixed gear bike, and it's great. (just a thought anyway)
