Well the levers can pull both, they just feel slightly different.
Can they? I mean practically, I guess they can. But V-brakes and cantis have different cable pull, right? And therefore you need the right levers. That's what I thought anyway.
Tijs-
There might be a H/L "switch" in the levers so it pulls with a different ratio, like with mid-late 90s MTB levers. Not sure though. If I'm correct V levers pull more cable but are weaker, while cantis pull less but stronger. I tried a few V lever and canti brake setups before and it's as lethal as it gets, it won't stop you for crap. The opposite on the other hand can be viable I guess, but it's a pita to setup the clearance correctly.
Btw super nice bike, I love every bit of it, very inspirational! This is something I'd like to build in the future.

From my research, the TRP levers and mini v’s should play nice together. If I had wider fork spacing, they probably would’ve stayed on, but because the frame is old, I’ll be sticking with canti brakes. If it was my Space Horse with drop bars and those brakes it would be a different story.
I should clarify, these were mini v-brakes, not normal ones with longer arms.
