Back in the college days I biked 16 miles one-way to work and four miles, several times a day, one-way to campus. Then more just for recreation. Yeah, pretty much a bike and exercise nut. I wonder how many thousands of miles are on it. Did it all on a steel 27" frame Fuji Sports 12, stripped of almost all that didn't make it go (kickstand, front derailleur, reflector, extension brake lever deletes).
Now I mainly just go about town and almost perversely have switched to a heavy, cheap full-suspension mountain bike. I like the cushy ride and the complete lack of pinch flats and really haven't noticed much penalty for the weight and worse ergos here in the flatland. But I just got a Super 32 and expect to switch to that after I reassemble it to my standards.
I wouldn't automatically recommend tightening spokes just because. The wheel might be fine the way it is.
