Dex Dexter:
And I think (having checked on my old one) that it has a bridge you can mount a caliper brake on too.

does anyone know if there is a place on the rear dropouts that I could have the mounts moved to which would allow me to use a U brake?

Canti mounts aint the same as U brake mounts so its cant just move them. You would have to get some (make some) U brake mounts

What about using a smaller coaster sprocket on the back, which will allow you to use a smaller chainwheel?
You can get coaster sprockets down to 12T, so 33/12 is about the same as 44/16.
