Super narrow (47mm) rear canti bosses - what brakes?

[ElCani]

Could be! I will get some pics later and see what people think.

I actually managed to unearth some of those brakes and it looks like they will do the job! Photos (which are rather crap) of the frame are here, any views on what it might be would be very welcome.

Thanks all.

Sorry to be bit negative, someone might of done what I did 25 odd years ago I had frame meant for 27 inch wheels you couldn't get decent deep brakes to use 700'c, so I got canti mounts brazed on, never really got decent set up, still have frame and hope to get everything sweated off so I can refurbish and use some lovely Pauls component brakes,by the way the Tektro cantis are suberb to use and set up iam a tres big monkey and used them on my Roberts tourer with all the bags and they stopped me a lot of older cantis don't offer the adjustability to get blocks setup nicely

maybe thin v-brake style pads would allow more adjustment?

Yes maybe, just measured my old botched frame but nut the modern Roberts,the old one has bosses 70mm apart,would love like others to see pic of yours when I measred your 47 across, it's an incredible measurement my stays even at the top would allow that, I wonder how narrow the dropouts are, if old and narrow obv your stays would be much more vertical
