Hi there TohTruck!

Tire size sounds good. However, I'd go with the Titec Hell-Bent grips!

Grips make a heck of a lotta difference!

When you cycle with good grips worn in conjuction with nice gloves, it accentuates the overall comfort level of the ride. Wearing the fingerless and padded gloves that match both your helmet and bicycle color-scheme, will also distinguish you as a discerning cyclist with good taste. Ladies kinda like that...
