I have one small concern, it comes Conti ultra sport tyres, I hate punctures as much as everyone else, are they likely to give me problems in that regard? I'm fairly diligent with the tyres pressures, make sure they are always at 110-120 PSI.

I might ask the LBS to put something else on before I pick it up. What do y'all think?

I had no problems with them 700x23's until I accidentally put too much pressure in them and they bulged and ripped along the thread cut outs. I think the recomended is 110psi for those but that was back in 2009.
