Rad. What are the bars? Did it require fettling to get the MTB shifter on them? How much did it cost to get the rack fittings put on the fork? Is it 1" ahead? Have you tried narrower tyres (there's some 1.35" on Wiggle)?

Bars; On-one midge.
Shifter; fettled front derailleur clamp
Fork eyelets; ~£30
Tyres; I haven't put anything below 2.15" on because #monsteur . To be honest ... I find any MTB with good clearances just looks daft with anything under 2" of rubber. Also, with the right tyre the difference between 1.5 and 2" (pending pressure) won't feel much slower but the ride will be improved. Usually this bike has 2.15" Maxxis DTH which feel both good on road but also pretty positive on looser surfacing (dust / grit / gravel).
