its going to depend some what on your frame & what the bb width is, but you're probably right in thinking its 111, either that; 102 or 115.

theres shittons of info on the web about old road bikes, of you look up the og specs of the frame you're putting them on you can probably find what the oe spindle length is

i couldn't find any after 5 minutes in google so they probably don't exist. find some blanks/extra long ones and get them cut and threaded

or just give up

unless your real picky about your setup id just buy pre built wheels. not much difference in cost and its less hassle.

also check the classifieds on here, I've seen some good deals on single wheels lately

I've been using phil wood or park tools grease on all my bike stuff for ages now. i don't really know what the "right" grease to use it but id imagine practically anything would work, my old LBS swore by white lithium automotive grease

its pretty straight forward as long as your familiar with rebuilding hubs, just make sure to keep track of all the ball bearings
