Thanks ya'll! I am taking my Ruby in today to get the bottom bracket overhauled (a few water rides have made it squeak) and am going to look at handlebars while I am there and talk to my LBS. I think I am going to go semi-custom on the wheelset....I do love the Chris King Hubs. Once I get that stuff together, it is just a matter of assembly!

Not sure what you mean by "semi-custom," but in any event, be forewarned that CK hubs are really loud. I've heard them described as angry bees. My WI are arguably loud, too, so it wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker for me, but it's an issue for some. Also note that the lowest drilling they offer is 28 front and rear. At your weight, you could arguably go with a 20 front and 24 rear. IMO.

Prowheelbuilder.com offers "semicustom" wheelsets, you put them together online.
My LBS is offering a pretty good deal on a set of Campy hubs, so I may go with that....
I MAY get the Colnago together by my birthday!
