If you can't get modern brakes to reach Steve, the old girls will I'm running the original Diacompes on the Europa ... with 700c wheels, with plenty of room in the brake pad hangers. New cables, Aero brake levers (surprisingly cheap, even new) and good quality pads do a very good job even if they do feel a tad wooden. Although I haven't tried the Tektros on my bike, they look very very promising and if she wasn't fixed gear, she'd be wearing them.
Brakes? They're the least of your worries. The big concern is whether you go for Ambrosio or Velocity rims on your fixed gear wheel set

sorry, is my bias showing?
