You can do anything you set your mind to!
I like a lot of folks would swap tires but honestly I wouldn't really do much to make it lighter unless you are looking to swap out a bunch of parts and at that point I don't know it is worth it. I liked that bike minus maybe the front crank (in terms of gearing). I really wanted the dynamo light/charger switch and still do but it was never an aftermarket part and they wouldn't sell me one. The dynamo hub maybe a little heavy but honestly I don't see a reason to swap it unless you have another bike to use it on then I might consider but then again I would build up a custom wheel set at that point. Of course SON would be my first choice for front and maybe a White Industries XMR hub at the back. Lace them to some Velocity Dyads with Sapim Strong spokes and Secure Lock brass nips and you got a good touring wheel set.
