Looks more balance now IMO.
Not what I see: the wheels (and mudguards) absolutely dominate.
Which isn't a criticism, as I'm coming around to the skinny tube/deep wheel aesthetic: "purposeful" and "muscular" spring to mind.
Makes me think of hot-rods and muscle-cars.
Scilly.Suffolk-
Haha, fair play!
How I see (and hear) from the bike is that the steel frame is something that is going to be more reliable than my previous alu and carbon bikes, and the deep wheels brings back my old and childish days of deep wheels and the noise they make!
Also with the fat tyres now I can actually enjoy the comfort of a bike on the rough roads of London (especially at my age)

So after my pannier got nicked, I decided to scrap the pannier rack for a while and just use my backpack for my commuting.
Looks more balance now IMO.
