Sorted out the rear wheel play. Luckily the problem was easily solved by tightening the cup cone assembly just a tiny bit. I took the bike for a second ride right after fixing it, during which I tried to see what the brakes are capable of. The good news is that they are very capable. Bad news is that the brake pads didn't line up with the brake track (rookie mistake). So my pristine Rev-X's are already looking battered after their first ride.
@Thrust. Pedals are just temporary so I could take them for a spin while wrenching. I will take change them for my Look Keo's or silver Wellgo SPD pedals as soon as I am happy with everything.
@ricky2slicky. They are clinchers. I am planning to do some commuting duties on this bike as soon as I'm allowed to go back to the office again.

The Spinergy wheels were delivered today. Luckily the condition is mostly like the seller described. No damage to the carbon and hardly any wear on the brake track. Unfortunately he failed to mention there is significant play in the rear hub. I haven't taken them apart yet. Hopefully the play is in the wheel bearing and not the freehub body. I have replaced bearings on these years ago and I think I actually have some replacement bearings still in the tool box.
