Does the Allez have a functional wheelset now? And what about the current group? Yes, (I'm no expert) but I think there will be issues modifying a wheelset to fit 126mm and hoping it can be reused for 130mm+ later on.

I can see making a few mod's if you really like the feel of the frameset and want to keep it going a little longer. But some of the things you are discussing are just throwing away money that should be tucked away towards a complete new bike (IMO). Cutting threads into a new carbon fork? Modifying a new wheelset to fit 126? All for a 25 year old bonded carbon/alloy frame with a broken integrated seat clamp? I certainly wish you the best - but I'd be making some different choices personally.
