Next on the list is a bit fatter tires (28mm from 23mm) with something that has a bit more tread pattern.

You are well on the way with the "world's fastest, baddest city/commuter/recreational ride"
It's interesting that you and I are going in opposite directions. I'm going from a 100mm stem to an 80mm and 32mm tyres to 23mm, as opposed to you going to a longer stem and wider tyres. My Bad Boy's new life will be as a "Recreational, Mountain-road" bike. I'm hoping my wide riserbars married to a shorter stem will help me climb.
Since I started this thread a couple of hours ago, my package of goodies arrived from the UK. Unfortunately now they have to stay in the box until Santa "re-delivers" them.
