I would;
- cheap ebay schwalbes
- keep the chainset
- switch the back brake to a matching mini v and use decent road levers (Cane Creek or Trp if you can't find something used. I don't think Tektro still make any nice levers)
You're a bit limited with for dropbars with the quill stem. PlanetX sell ITM etc under 'Retro', so long as they're wide they'll do.

Collected this from Eyebrows this morning.
The urge to keep it in this set up was strong but it will be going back to its CX roots (but remaining singlespeed).
I've removed the rack and swapped the front wheel for an old campagnolo/open pro wheel I found in the shed. I've had a quick go at giving it a clean but it's never going to be pretty.
I'm thinking of going for tektro canti's and levers, deda compact drops. Need suggestions for tyres and I'm on the look out for some cheap cranks if anyone has anything?
