If you are going to use a 700 wheelset then you might want to consider getting the canti bosses repositioned wider and lower to allow easier brake setup. I tried several sets of cantis but finally had the posts repositioned and it makes things so much better.
I commuted on mine for a couple of years when I had indoor parking for the bike at work.
By the way i started riding mine at 300ish pounds still a very stiff and responsive ride, you'll love it. I use the bottle mount under the downtube for a tire kit including patch kit, tube, and levers in an old small peanut butter jar.
