I'm trying to find a long/medium reach, dual pivot, front caliper brake.[/quote]

for the polo bike?

check lexington bicycle center. but you will have to drill the back of the fork out to fit the nut. or just get one with a bolt long enuff to go all the way thru the fork.

I bought a set of short reach 105s for cheap, but the front will not make full contact with the rim. I drilled the opening a little and got a nut that would fit it, but the bastards just not long enough.

yep, thats why i never ran the front 105 brake i had on there. go over to the lbc and get a tektro brake to your desired length. its what i had to do on the pk ripper.

I bought these a while back for my fixed gear. I know you are getting ready to place an order, plus they are taking an additional 20% off orders right now.
