Sick! Where'd you find it? Really looking forward to seeing the build.
I actually have a new, unused set of purple GKs here that I bought for the same reason, if you wanted them...
Slick 38s are fine. There's probs clearance for 40-42mm at the fork to be honest, but the chainstays are pretty tight. I had some 35mm GravelKing SKs (the knobbly ones) on there for a while and, clearance at the chainstays was pretty minimal to be honest.
There's someone on instagram who claims to have got 42mm tyres in, but he's lying / has narrow rims / hasn't measured actual inflated width.

Cheers dude :) was kinda hoping I could manage 38 SKs but I guess we'll have to see.
Ended up messaging an eBay seller in Berlin after I missed out on a different Pacer on the off-chance it fell through. Turns out he has/had a bunch of Kuwaharas and ended up selling me a slightly nicer one, which was pretty good.
What size/profile are those tyres? Might be interested but I'm finding myself leaning towards the pink as well.
Yeah, I'll probably have to do a build thread, finally! Just noticed it takes a 27.0 post so that's messed up one plan already. On the plus side, this one does have the original stem so hopefully that's not some annoyingly narrow clamp size (hoping to get 25.4/26mm bars in). Should be fun...

I've just bought a Pacer from exactly the same year (it's in the post) and have to admit I may unashamedly steal one or two ideas from this build ;)
I think we both had the same idea independently about the pink Gravel Kings however! Kinda want to try the purple/violet ones too.
Out of interest, what are the biggest tyres you think it can manage? Assuming 38s are fine but not sure if there's room after that?
