Be wary of tiny headtubes on old MTB's.
Already have the frame and it has a generous headtube. I'll probably make a project page once I make a final decision about what I'm going to do with the wheels/brakes, not to hijack @TomvanHalen 's thread any further.
You can buy these by the way: http://elevnracing.com/products/brake-adaptators/
Albeit pretty pricy (price is per set).

Really worth it, especially when you start realising how cheap it can be. I'm running an old LX 8 speed group and there's nothing I can't roll over. Be wary of tiny headtubes on old MTB's.
