I can't say I'd recommend it, but it was fun.

BTW, if you need the kind of brake cable hanger that clamps onto a 1-1/8" steerer, I can send you one. I've got a couple on the shelf that I expect never to use again. I guess you'd need a shim (?), but after that adapter, it would be an easy problem to solve.

I actually have similar setup bike that I have done tone of country mountain miles on center pulls with basic linear pull aero levers and modern brake shoes work great.

The 40+ year old lower end Nishiki still looks and rides great.
