I have a Smooth Hound which share similar frame with Silvertip. I am using road lever and cantilever for the front, v-brake with Travel Agent for the rear. A properly adjusted cantilever brake will feel better with road lever than v-brake with Travel Agent.
Adjusting v-brake with Travel Agent is no harder than regular v-brake, there are two types of Travel Agent, one with barrel adjuster and one without. Get one with barrel adjuster.
I guess the only unique part in Dahon midtown frame is the width of fronthub (74mm), the rest is standard road bike parts.
