Replacement fork for Bianchi Tangent?

Hi all,

I have a Bianchi Tangent (I believe 1990-1991) that I have been building up for touring. The fork that is on it now is not original I believe, due to the eyelits. When I got it it had been repainted a royal blue which I found to be ugly (and very scratched up), so I stripped it to the chrome. Unfortunately, the chrome is somewhat chipped in a few places and it has begun to rust. Not badly, but still. Additionally, I bought a set of Paul Component Engineering canti brakes and they don't fit on the fork, it's too narrow!

So a few questions:
If I were going to replace the fork, what should I look for? What would be a good fork to replace this (without breaking the bank)?

If not, what are some high performance breaks that will fit on narrow forks with wide rims? (it's a DT Swiss TK540)

Thanks!
