Michael, Congrats on your new build! I'm quite fond of the older Trek's myself and converted what I believe to be a 1982 715. I'd considered the Bilenkey S&S, re-paint route as well but I was able to get side pull's that reach the 650B rims. My 42mm EL Hetre's just barely fit, getting the stays crimped a bit is something else I'd have done if I went the route of major frame work. What a cool bike to have, seems like you've given it a new lease on life!
On the mysteries of bike assembly you bring up a bunch of amusing and common sense points, looks like you made it work!
