Hello rbt,

I'd like to setup a mountain bike with drop handlebars. So, I'd have
road brake levers (Shimano 105) and I'd like to know if I'd be able to
use them with the AVID Shorty 4 brakes and 26" mountain bikes wheels?

Yes. Makes sure you have a cable hangar(s) that works. The front one
is sometimes a problem.

Also, would I be able to use a 105 rear derailleur on a mountain bike
frame with 26" mountain bike wheels with a 12/25 105 cogset?

yes

I'm thinking of building such a bike for my daughter. It's kind of a
cross bike, but more towards mountain than road.

Thanks.
