The tubulars known to Europeans as 28" used to be called 27" over here, because you could use them in bikes made for 27×1¼ clinchers. A 28" clincher rim in English use usually refers to something now known as 635mm in ETRTO terms.

Now That's What I Call I Fairly Interesting Fact About The Conventions That Have Arisen Over Time To Describe Bicycle Tyre Sizing In Different Countries...34!

Hubs - provided I can establish that they are flip flop (as the MK1 is), are these the best option?

Mk1 was supplied in double-fixed or fixed-free more or less at random. I don't think anybody has ever died from screwing a single freewheel onto a fixed hub, so I wouldn't bother too much whether they are flip-flop or flip-flip :-)
