Good stuff.
The velosolo mention of old campag is because they're (now uncommon) 135bcb. Check the bcb of your cranks before ordering. If you buying new – you might as well buy the 1/8th version as it'll wear slower.
Get some simple track wheels like those from on-one. That's about the cheapest way to get on the road with serviceable, good performing wheels unless you build your own.
Stick the wheel in, and then you can get a straight chainline by careful selection of BB (spindle length makes the difference) and/or mounting the chainring on the inside of the crank spider (a bit ugly).
When it comes to BBs, make sure you know about ISO vs JIS tapers and what they'll do with your ISO chainset.
Hope this helps.
