I rode tubes in my salad days, and a few years ago rebuilt some wheels and did the deja vu thing. They didn't compare with the the Grand Bois Cerf (29MM) on a pair of Open Pro 28/32 spoke wheels.
At some point we need to sort out whether we are rebuilding an antique for show, or a classic to ride. I would go with a good set of light weight wheels; hi quality 27-29 mm tires; a good compact double and classic Campy Brakes. I have a nice pair of drilled Mafac levers I'd be happy to sell. I found my habit of resting a water bottle on the bars and the brake cables weren't a good combo, despite the classic look.
