Side-pulls for conversion from 27" to 700c wheels

Hi all,

So a few summers ago I replaced the old 27" steel wheels on my old fuji with an updated pair of 700c wheels with sealed hubs.

I've been making do with the original dia-compe/weinmann centre-pulls that came on just about every bike with 27" wheels in the 80's. Now for the sake of improved stopping power and because I think centre-pulls are dreadful looking I've been meaning to update to a dual-pivot side-pull.

Does anyone have any solutions for a cheap, nutted, dual pivot side-pulls? I haven't actually measured yet, but I'm certain I'll need something with at least 70mm+ of reach.

I know velo-orange has them available, but I'm not prepared to spend $75 bucks a pop (plus shipping to canada).
