I'm building up an old Lygie frame for my wife that has been in our family for about 15 years.  I recently had some bridges repaired and repainted by Bilenky.
I'm planning to build it up with sensible, not too fancy, but road worthy parts for my wife .....a lighter rando-ish bike to serve as a foil to her Bruce Gordon BLT.
Bilenky changed the rear spacing from 126mm to 130mm.

I'd like to find a classic looking box type rim wheelset that will take a modern cassette and won't break the bank.
Planning to use tubes.
650b, less than 42mm tires. 
Silver color preferred on all parts.

Does anyone have anything like this they'd like to move on, ...or can anyone point me in the right direction for a retailer that may sell factory made / machine made wheelsets that would be appropriate for this?

Pacenti makes a nice wheelset called the Brevet - silver 650B rims with silver high flange hubs, 130 rear spacing, 11 speed Shimano compatible - $400 from Pacenti.
