That's a presta valve by the sound of it. It's the typical standard on road bikes these days with clincher tires. You can get a pump with a two sided head if you like that will allow you to pump up tires with a schrader valve or presta. The pump with a presta head will simply press onto the open (unscrewed) presta valve, and should have a lever on the head to lock it in place.

There are a lot of 650 wheels out there, that was once really common for tri bikes. I second whoever said check out the clydesdale forum, I imagine there is something out there that will work.
