I've got a Trek 950 Singletrack and ran 1.5 Michelin City tires on it and it rolled very nicely. I recently moved the 26-inch Mavic Wheelset over to my fully restored '92 Ellison tandem... for a very smooth ride now I'm wondering what to do with the Trek? I've got a spare 700c wheel set collecting dust and I've been eyeing this little conversion for a while.

Does anyone have experience creating such a FrankenBike, e.g. Trek 950 MTB - running 700c wheels? I know that I'll need to run some road canti brakes... perhaps bolting them to the front fork using the hole that formerly held the front reflector. Any advice from someone who's been there is welcome.
