Ditch those levers! I've got a pair of Weinmann's with good hoods you can have for postage.
I've also got a band-on Sachs Huret front mech you can also have for the cost of a stamp.
It sounds like your bottom bracket is too wide for your crankset: aren't 10 speed 102mm? Is it a loose bearing BB? If so measure your spindle: I've some knocking about and if I have a shorter one then you're also welcome to that.
If you don't get your wheels sorted out, I've got a couple of screw-on hub wheelsets (and a freewheel) that will get you on the road: your stays will stretch to 126mm OK.
