Re: I’d get some gorgeous old school V Brakes, ones with lots of adjust so you can convert to 27.5 with them if you like. Or if you really want cantis, instead of a hanger, get yourself an old style mtb stem with a hole that is a cable stop. The adjuster sits in it. Could be very ‘right’ for this bike somehow. I put one on my Yates tandem that has another centre-pull type brake, and i have a spare.
They’re called Tioga T-bone. I painted mine red when got the frame finished. Unfortunately the spare is re-painted purple (they originally were black powder) so I guess you might want to have it painted silver if you use it. 1”steerer, old school mtb rise, about 13cm reach.
