I had been watching that all week and couldn't be bothered in the end. Looks like Canti mounts, so no you can't fit a U brake. I am guessing you will also need to get an odyssey pozistop because I can't see any brake cable lugs or whatever you call em.

Cantilever brakes are on a lot of older Mountain bikes.

They are easy as heckers to set up :)
