I have a '998 LongLow, and have dealt with this by using brakes that get the post further away from the forks/chainstays. Have to say I'm very happy with the basic Shimano cantis - super-adjustable, and strong braking. I was very frustrated with other brakes that put the posts closer to the forks - an issue that we feel more acutely, as our forks are round, not ovalized, and our fork crowns narrower than current Riv practice.
