First of all, nice bike!
for two, it's Bianchi...
I have a limited conversion as well. Very nice bike, I have no complaints thus far.
I run a Vuelta rear hub, and shimano front simply because I don't have the money for a new front wheel right now...and thats what I had laying around when I built this bike up. If you keep everything up with good maintenance - you'll be fine. Try Ebay for a rear wheel, you can find decent quality within any budget. I was amazed how easy it was to convert!
Good Luck!
