Brake reach problem

I am building up a 1983 Motobecane Super Mirage frame and fork.

Brakes are being a challenge as the front needs 62mm reach, back is 55mm.

Tektro makes the 559 which has the reach but is for wide tires/rims, I am using nominal 19.5mm wide (700c) rims.

I would like to avoid using centerpulls for the added hardware that must hang from the seatpost bolt and head top bearing area and because newer dual-pivots probably work better.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
