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.

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.
