Eric, A nod to the Dia-Compe 980s. They don't have the more immediate stopping power of Paul's but the price, classic design, silver finish and lack of squeal (with Kool-Stop pads) make the 980s good brakes for me. Have run them on one of my Rivs and will use them on two forthcoming builds.
Jason commented on the limited ability of the adjustment screws on the Tektros. Same issue the Dia-Compes have but so far that has not been a deal breaker. I've also used Shimano CX-70s and those work fine. The adjustment screws on those are quite effective. Perhaps look into the current CX-50s.
