What to do with old tubular rims/Cross Build?

I picked up some old tubular rims from my the incognito Trek 730 I picked up a few months ago. They've got Specialized hubs and Arc En Ciel tubular rims. They're pretty light, roll like butter, and look nice, but i'm a total NOOB to tubulars. Any suggestions on what to do with them? Either A: Trade/sell them and get a clincher wheelset, or B: Buy some tubular cross tires and put them on my cross/gravel bike build.

Here's the bike I'm turning in to the cross project- it's an older Schwinn Traveler? with 4130 straight tubes and tons of room for big tires- it's been through a couple iterations it looks like in the past, but I couldn't pass it up for $50 on my local CL-

Here's some pics of the tubs and my Schwinn project bike: Let me know what you think I should do! Thanks
