I very happily rode my Bleriot as a MTB/trail bike for a while. I would recommend that set up. If you don't have such a bike, you need one! I rode with CdlV tires which worked 99% as intended. I even had Honjos and lived to ride another day! http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/1561499481/
I don't believe it will fit Quasi-Motos, but Kirk Pacenti is hinting at finally getting the Mini-Motos to market, so hold out a bit till they come out (does he post here?). That would be a fantastic set up!
