Any suggestions on what brakes to look for?
Tektro will probably have something that works. You need to make sure to get the proper reach, and check whether you need nutted or recessed nut (probably nutted for this bike). Then any decent short pull levers made of metal, and new cables and housing.
If you don’t want to replace the whole system, you could start with just decent pads, like Kool Stop Continentals, and adjustment.
Edit: someone pointed out these are linear pull brakes, not caliper, so the above doesn’t apply. You could try Kool Stop linear pull pads first, but I’d just replace the brakes themselves.
