They came with Mavic Open Pro, tubular rims. One would assume a set of clinchers in the model would lace right up.

If me, would use those hubs, source out whatever clincher you want. The spokes may or may not work because of the length difference or lace pattern. One thing with older hubs is the alloy may not have the strength for high tension spoke load. So if you get wild with a radial lace up front or combo radial / X in the rear, keep that in mind. The new hub shells today are amazing to take the nominal number of spokes and high load.
Also, there's a market for used spokes especially Wheelsmith and DT.
