Along the lines of spousal gear, the parts for the flat-ish bar setup should arrive tomorrow: VO Milano bars, Microshift 3x10 triggers, Avid brake levers and cork grips to start with.
She doesn't want to make the bike heavier. Her All City which is in NYC has a bottle dynamo, and it has caused problems, because it's hard to mount it right next to the cantilever brake boss. Plus it makes a fair amount of drag.

Your spouse's setup is going to be dreamy. I bet I would love those bars, and I love trigger shifters.
