Regular Brakes on Road Bars

Hi. First post here

I bought a fixed gear not too long ago and it came with regular flat bars and standard-style brakes.
However, I just was given some road bars and while the bars fit fine in the stem, the brakes do not fit at all.

What are my options here?
I figure i can either
1.) Buy some road levers and new tape
2.) Buy some cyclocross levers and keep my tape
3.) Brakeless (...no)

The thing is that I need to keep it as cheap as possible.
After looking thoroughly at my old brakes, I don't think there is any way I can safely mount them.

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: also, I was looking at something like http://bit.ly/d0P7Yo with http://bit.ly/dn5bK6 but I have no idea whether those levers are any good or not.
