Looks nice. I would have gone with 36 hole wheels on a bike that will weigh 70lbs loaded. Also, I think a cross country trip could easily justify some 37c Paselas or even some 40c Schwalbes. He's got time to think about that, I suppose. But those look like 32's, which is positively skinny for a Hillborne.
