Well I have for the most part finished my build on the Holdsworth.   The brakes I've got on it are cheap or at very least weak springed with no adjustment.  So I went to replace them and realized that the bike must have originally been for 27 inch wheels.   Anyway I'm looking to find a brake to replace these but need to have a very low reach.  
Here is the photo though not close enough for specifics it does show how how high the brakes ride.

Any ideas would be appreciated..

Probably more typically used to get the pads higher, but perhaps Paul
Motolite's would work.

the Shimano CX70's have a lot of adjustment, not sure if they will work though... This is  a trial and error thing unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestions. It is trial and error but finding things like motolight make that trial and error easier,
