If the Silver's are jumping gears they have probably loosened,

I agree the OP is well advised to consider a battery light.
However, for the money I think a Busch Muller Ixon IQ is a better
choice for on road riding. I have a DiNotte set and still use the
tail light. The DiNotte headlight while quite bright does not have

Fai, the Impacts that are the re-badged Sugino XD2's obviously use the
same BB. The thing is, you need to know the proportions of the BB's
to understand what a different BB may or may not do. The 107 and
110(111.5 actual) have the same DS spindle distance. Use some spacers
to tweak the chainline.
Your bike turned out quite nice. The pictures are lovely.
