Luke, totally with you on a cushy rando rig with 42s and want to build one myself. I've enjoyed the Extralights on my Hillborne and MB-2, getting them at cost would be nice! My first set was old, worn in and I got em for free from a friend so much like drugs, they were free at first and now I'm addicted.
How are you going to work around the dropout issue? I thought those were threaded either for Huret or Campagnolo dropouts?
