I suppose the frame was built for 27" whilst you tried 700c ones.
either you switch to 27" wheels or find long reach brakes.
I think the ones I have will reach your wheels, but, as said, they are the recessed ones, so you'll need someone to expand the hole in the bridge and the forks for it to fit.
This is easy to do and won't affect the frame nor the possibility to switch to nutted ones later on if you wish.
Will send you pictures as soon as I'm home tonight.
