Aye was possibly lured in for the sake of 'gram likes. I am currently running them with tubes, I will possibly swap them for something a bit more bulletproof.
The initial plan was for the bike to operate as a winter bike for [slightly] faster riding outside of the commute, but the finished build is so heavy that's not going to happen much (plus I hardly ride in winter as it is these days) - so probably no harm in going for a hefty 'commuter' type tyre - any recommendations on here? Something like Schwalbe Marathon

Many comments on here about the slick GKs not being the best. If running TL, I've just fitted pirelli cinturato velo tl for the city commute - so far so good, was able to fit them by hand and they come in a 35c flavour.
