Should make a nice convertion. Nicer frame then my gas pipe job which still rides well.
If you end up replacing the front wheel with a 700cc wheel I would recomend a drope plate (see sheldon again) if the current brakes do not have enough drop. The problem with brakes with very long drops is that they have a reduced mechanical advantage, if the current brakes have enough drop just use them as it saves some pennies but I would not go and buy some super long drop brakes.
