Congrats! Can't wait to see the images! Regarding the wheel question:
I respaced a 130 wheel to use on my Hilsen. Didn't even replace the axle. It just sits a little inside the dropouts with plenty o' meat left over (and if you poke around Sheldon's bikes, he talks about using a QR setup with an axle flush to the nut, so he could achieve some minor tensioning corrections on a singlespeed/vertical dropout setup). You really just need 5 mm total of washers (mine was done with two x 2 mm and I figured that was close enough.)
