I am finishing up an overhaul on my '09 AHH. I've changed out a few things - replaced my Jack Brown Greens (measured 34.5mm when I pulled 'em) with Compass Stampede Pass rubber (measuring around 31.5mm). Edelux 2 to improve lighting from the original 1.
On a lark, I put the old Mark's rack with the Plat rack extension on the back of the bike. I've come to realize that I don't like putting the weight up front on this guy due to wheel flop, but I still want to occasionally camp with this bike - a good platform is key. I also changed out most of the drivetrain: 1. dropped the 44T for a 42T to hopefully reduce the chance of breaking another front derailleur 2. went back to indexed 9-speed downtube shifters and rear 9-speed cassette - also retrying the Wipperman chain In an effort to reduce the (albeit light) occasional shimmy, I put a Miche needle bearing headset on. Initial test rides show are nice and snappy!!, but I have some work to do on the derailleur adjustments (rear) and will have to put the 105 front derailleur back on (tried an older Sachs) due to clearance on the tight Compass cranks. One more day and it'll be just right.
