In case you are using the long drop brakes in the conversion of a vintage bike from 27" wheels to 700c's, you might also want to consider brake mounting issues at the same time, since many vintage bikes weren't designed to take recessed allen nut fittings that come with most modern caliper brakes long drop or otherwise.

SJS cycles are (or at least were) selling Dia-Compe dual pivot deep drop brakes off cheap. I forget the exact drop now but I put one the front of one of my bikes and it is very decent piece of kit for the money imo. Even works well with pads which came with it.
