You do realise that you have road wheels and fork on a Mountain Bike? Yes, Canti bosses on the rear... I'll post a pic later of what you should be aiming for with that build :-)

20 Years ago this month Bicycle Guide magazine did a review of the Allsop Softride MTB. It was a unique bicycle then and still is. The idea was to "suspend the rider and not the bike" and Allsop did that perfectly. If you're going to build this up as a retro bike, you have a serious gem here, so don't skimp on original parts from that era. Get the Suntour Groupset. Get the Frankenstem. Please don't put on some lame carbon fork with disc mounts. Do this build right and do it proud.
