There’s nothing wrong with riding on old bikes with “no disc caliper mounts of any kind”. Some how those of us riding those kinds of bikes can still stop the bike when and where we want and even enjoy flying down hills at stupid speeds while riding our pre-hydraulic death traps.
I do my fair share of time on older bikes. I just draw a line at trying to bring something from 1984 into the 21st Century. You never quite succeed, and the $$$ you spend trying to are mostly wasted. Bragging rights is about it.
