if that's your range, i would seriously forget about going off the peg and instead invest in a surly steamroller and get everything built up around it as you want. I just don't see the point of getting a cheaper set of components on this kind of bike then spending again on wheels etc (bear in mind that a decent set of wheels will cost £130-£250).
I would think about:
surly steamroller
deep v's or mavic cxp33 and strong hubs as suggested above.
Then maybe sugino cranks and some good second hand bits for saddle, stem, cleats etc.
what's everyone else think?
btw Phil, I am riding on a Viner - a lugged road bike from '78. Probably not the sort you were talking about but a great frame!
