How much you reckon it'll cost?
Not gonna get it repainted, just want the cantis.It's a 6 speed and cassette choice is very, very limited.

Some advice about this would be much appreciated.
I have an old '87 stumpjumper that I love, but it has under chainstay U brakes.
They're annoying to adjust and get clogged up with mud (not that I've given it much mud action recently). They also hit any ring over 42t.
What I want to do is remove them and graft some canti mounts on the seat stays, but is this safe?I know it's not designed to have cantis but I figure with these older bikes it doesn't matter as much as it's essentially tough old gaspipe. Will the U brake mounts be safe to have lopped off and filled? Better to leave them on? Bearing in mind I won't be doing any of this myself - I just wanted to see if the idea was pie in the sky before I gave a framebuilder a ring.
Many thanks in advance.
Thanks @laner for the photo
