No offence but this sounds like some cheap/generic bike.Do you have a pic then we might be able to help if we know what headtube/brake mounts the frame has.

Try Chain Reaction for a good/inexpensive set of V-brakes,Deores shouldn`t cost a great deal but work well when set up properly.Radmember MattFX81 is selling some decent headsets,why not drop him a PM.
