Gotta say - probably not a great idea. Not a bad race bike, I mostly race a mid-school myself, but the "conversion kit" disc brake systems are quite likely to end up spreading your dropouts. There's a lot of torque that all gets transferred there instead of being on the seatstays.....

Your bike's not designed for that - why not just put a linear pull setup back there and be done with it? Was it originally a cantilever brake?
