Yeah, these tires look absolutely burly. That was part of the appeal
for me, but I got them mainly because I plan on doing a lot of offroad
(adventure?) touring on them, and the extra air will be nice. They are
approaching 650B in diameter but maybe better because there is more
air and less wheel.
Yes, agreed. The Regals seem like quite good saddles.

This Rambouillet looks fantastic! White bar tape is as classic as one
can get, in a racy kind of way. (I was the race official "in charge

I would say, in no particular order:

Bars too damned high! You need more weight on the bar -- try a bar bag.
