You will probably have to add a washer and spread your rear triangle by about 2mm, but a SunTour Ultra-6 freewheel is a great option, and what I used when I repurposed my 1970 UO-8 as a commuter/beater.

I am with you on tubulars -- much as I liked them in the 1970s, I no longer have time or inclination to fool with stitching, sewing, and gluing.
