I say use what you got for the fixed gear and you won't have to be concerned about locking it up and being a theft magnet.
I hear you... I just feel like it's a sin to put shimano on a bike that originally had super record. Also, I'm 130 lbs with scrawny legs so I probably won't break anything

I do have access to a Sugino Super Maxi... but you said they were really flimsy?
