Everybody who modernizes a vintage steel bike knows this problem: a modern replacement for the typical Weinmann long-reach brakes is hard to find. These Tektros were a perfect fit for me and I just ordered another pair for my other bike. Be aware though that you may run into problems installing them, because they are "recessed", not nutted. The solution to that problem might vary.... I had to drill out the fork a little.
German customs made them a bit expensive though...
