Well, just in case anyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to see what i would do, i just pulled the trigger on these:

I think they will work pretty well, and this free's up some time for me to spend on building up a set of wheels at my own pace.

First, I need to finish up the rest of the bike.
-clean and polish parts
-touch up paint
-replace housing cables and brakes
-wrap bars

Thanks everyone for your insight and comments, you really helped me figure this out.
