Thanks everyone for all the offers and the parts. It looks like I've got 
everything I need sorted out. Now I just have to wait and wrench. Oh JOY!

Nothing wrong with the Alex rims. I think they're a great deal. I like the 
colored spoke nipples, too. It's a complicated story involving the drive 
train, not worth going into. But zero issues with the Alex rims that came 
stock on my 52cm Clementine. (RM18 on the 650B).

I have a set of Deore v-brakes that will are available. I believe I have a set 
of Shimano v-brake levers as well. I'll check the parts bin and let you know

+1 on the Atlas recommendation. Due to issues with my Clementine's stock 
Alex wheelset, I upgraded to Riv's Atlas/Velocity. About a week later I hit 
a pothole at night at speed and the rear rim got toasted. But I was able to 
get home on it and if it were something not as robust, the situation could 
have been worse. It's a good looking wheelset, and unless you are racing or 
do a lot of Strava uphill challenges, they make a lot of sense for a Mt. 
Bubbe.

Paul, I would go with the Atlas rims. They *might* be overkill, but they 
aren't crazy heavy or anything, just good, confidence-inspiring, rim-brake 
mountain touring rims. I have a set of A23's on my cross bike and I wish 
they were wider. My friend destroyed a pair of A23's, just be better safe 
than sorry. The wider rim is better for a wider tire, anyways.
