Went for these Panaracer Comet Hardpack tyres in the end. Kind of wish I'd gone for something in 2.5" for a bit more visual oomph. I was worried about chainstay room but there's plenty. I cable tied a pump I found in my parts box to the seat tube just to fill that clearance between seat-tube and tyre a bit - it's the thing that bothers me with 90s mtbs, those long chainstays look a bit gawky to me.
Stem and front rack are here, awaiting the arrival of the cockpit parts and the v-brakes then it's time to go for a burn on some bridleways. Took the long bike (unladen) across the fields at the weekend, it was fecken lush.
