Caliper brakes would mount easily as the bike can take either caliper or V-Brake.. your bike has flat bars, so V-Brakes are the norm due to the cable pull with your brake levers .. my bike has drops and STI, so caliper brakes were used (again mainly due to the differences in cable pull).. there are always work arounds to mix and match, but you won't get more powerful braking going to calipers on your bike..
