Thank you all for the assistance.
I admit I'd never even heard of Teasdale before so that's interesting. I agreed it's a well made bike, but just didn't like the ride. If I kept it the appropriate choice would be 105 levers and brakes but, As Narhay said above (he) "didn't want to get sucked into a bike with a specialty tire size that may disappear in the future or be left with sub-par choices" and building it up with no intention of riding seems a waste.
Guess I'll pull the shifters and derailleurs for my Fuji and keep the wheel set with the bike and maybe someone will want it one day.
