Converted this old Gary Fisher to disc brakes and 650b wheels, thread less stem and mx bars. I like it far more than expected.

stop hiding that disc mount buddy turn the bike round & show the class
Yeah, and unfortunately your canti forks and rear triangle steel thickness is thinner than required, to weld on disc brake mounts. The steel in that area was never designed for the forces required. Something will crack for sure eventually, but when?
You should have left it canti. Canti’s rule my friend.
Please people don’t do this. Cantilever brake frames weren’t designed to weld on disc brake mounts. NO. Dangerous and unneeded.
V-brakes with salmon pads stop as well as discs and I’d argue they are better due to feel and feedback. (Old Yeti race team mechanic and I have 35 years of using both types of brakes).
I had an old Fisher Chromo frame I loved, so I’m stoked for you, but be careful. Check the welds before ever ride, especially as you get more time on it.
