I definitely see the point re: painting it the same purple, but this isn’t intended to be a facsimile of Iohan’s bike, you know? There will be a nod to that in the finished build, but I really don’t want to make a replica
The 2x thing is a good point, but 1x is a sort of adaptive compromise for me. I lost the use of my left index finger some years ago when the end was ripped off in a fixed chain (!), so the dexterity loss on my left hand makes using another shifter less easy than I’d like. Not as practical as 2x, but much easier on my hands.

Great project.
If it’s a tribute, paint it to look like his bike, and not a stock Surly. And if you plan to really tour on this, keep the 2x.
Just my initial thoughts.
