Calipers for V Brakes bosses?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building an On One Pompino. I had planned to put V Brakes on it but reckon callipers would look a lot 'cleaner' and suit the style of the bike. It will be for road use, not a cross bike.

I was wondering if there are any dual pivot style calliper brakes that work on V brake/canti bosses?

Cheers

    There are some U-type brakes that use canti-bosses - BMX types are cheap, I thought you could get something exotic from Pauls' Components, but they don't fit. Another option would be get an adapter plate made for a regular deep-drop caliper- remove the studs and use the screw holes to bolt a plate into position - you might find something ready made.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
