Tires are Armadillos. Got too many flats with the stock ones. Haven't had a flat in over 300 miles on these armadillos. Before it was an average of one every 50 miles.

I'm holding off on upgrading components, but my future upgrade plans include new wheels, a front derailleur that doesn't sit so far behind the seat tube, and a not so wide range cassette.
+1 on the Front Der. Once you do that you'll be able to put a new Planet bike fender without carving hunks out of it. Bad show on Specialized for cheaping out with bulkier less expensive front derailleurs post '07 .
