canti and vbrake HELP retrobike!

[Tifishlips#1]

hello all, I have a vintage mtb frame that is cantilever specific and I want to run cantis on it. However, I have a suspension fork that is V-Brake specific,
Im looking for a set of brake levers that can be used on canti and vbrakes.
any suggestions?
I found a pair of shimano xt brake levers that can do it, are there any others out there?
thanks for suggestions

Re:

Had similar problem on the wife's muddy fox, kept canti levers and added this gizmo onto the V-brakes on suspension forks, the eccentric roller basically means you can operate v-brakes effectively from a canti lever, thus keeping the cantis on the rear and retaining canti lever/shifter combos.

Re:

There were some Ritchey Logic levers that could be switched between canti/V brake settings

Yes pies, it is the correct one, it's a Problem Solver for using V-Brakes with Canti Levers, said so on the packet, and I've got Cantis fitted to rear and V's on the front. With Canti Levers/Shifter combos on the bars.

IIRC, Machine Tech beautiful levers like these:

had the dial to set them for cantis & V´s?

Later (not the earlier ones) Techlite;

or... run maguras!

I though there was a lower end Shimano model level that could do both Canti and V? One of the servo wave models? STX rings a bell.

Avid make some brake levers that work with either, I think.

SD-7s or something like that. I bought a couple of pairs, NOS, from an eBay seller a couple of months back, so there's probably some kicking around still.
