if you want serious replys, start by telling us the budget you would like to maintain, thats a good place to start from.
for your information, i was just in the market myslef, you'll be hard pressed to find a phil wood built wheelset for much under $500...
I know that i picked up the frame cheaply, and that most cyclists find the pista to be a "cheap" bike in general but I actually like the frame and was looking to buy some nice parts. My original thoughts were to put some black deep v wheels on either king or wood hubs. outside of that I haven't researched enough on the other components that it will take to get this finished. (thus my initial post) My budget (had figured around 1k-1,500) will depend on the parts as I have time to save up for the various things I will need but I had imagined spending around $500-700 on a wheelset, $100-175 on a crankset, $100-ish on saddle and post just for reference sake.
