Update:

I found that the frame had already been cold set to 130mm so I’m going with 700c wheels. I found a set of brand new set of Velocity Dyad rims on FB Marketplace to go with my Shimano 105 hubs and had my LBS build the wheels for me.

My frame is off getting powder coated El Paso Green (a Prismatic Powdercoat color). So I’m using the time to gather the remaining components for the build. My intent is to use some kind of alt bar and need shifters and brake levers that will work with my Shimano 105 10-speed RD and 105 triple FD. As noted in my original post, I have a pair of Dura Ace bar end shifters to pair with some Paul Thumbies but am wondering what other shifters you folks might suggest that might be a better choice. I've read that, if I use MTB shifters, I'd need to change my FD so would appreciate confirmation of that, as well as recommendations for a different FD.
