Well... Maybe. I have thought about swapping the headlamp out for
one of the new LED headlamps that wasn't available when I spec'd the
bike

Thanks. Worth looking into. Actually your suggestion reminded me of
something else. Anyone tried the Primo Comets in 1.5? I see that the
Hostel Shoppe lists them in both wire bead and Kevlar.

Yep, 559. Still using Panaracer HiRoads. Haven't decided what I'm
going to move to when my stash of these is used up. I'd love to find
a smooth, light, flexible, moderately durable 26x1.5 tire if someone

I went on a lunch ride today with the "fast guys" at work. I've done this
ride with them before on my rando'd out AHH, but this time I wanted to try
out a bike I recently set up for my wife. It was unencumbered by fenders,
racks, lights, and all the things I normally ride with. It also had 28mm
