Oh, exciting! I wanted a Peregrine for a long time and I love both of Toms builds up there. I ended up altering an old Raleigh frame but going for a similar vibe.
Regarding cranks, I assume you want to go for a classic look. Top of my list would be White Industries Eno. They pop up on eBay sometimes and look great 1x.
Tom used a Velo Orange Grand Cru SS crank which comes in black and silver with a 110bcd. So loads of chainring choices. I think on the Peregrine MK2 he is using a Rene Herse crank but the Velo Orange Grand Cru 50.4 or SunXCD 50.4 are very similar and they can all be run 1x, 2x 3x. Also popular with this kind of build are Middleburn cranks. They have a replaceable spider to accommodate most chainring sizes and combinations and even the newest model has a very classy look.

Put a deposit down on a Peregrine and starting to think about the build with the bike shop supplying it.
700c Wheelset (tbc - likely Son front, hope rear, good rims for 35-48c ish tyres)
Dynamo light (sinewave beacon or something)
Hope H/S
Klampers - I think.
1x 11 mtb gearing
TRP brake levers
bar end shifter
Don't really want to pay full retail on all parts as it'll get expensive. Hoping to get cranks, seatpost, bars, stem second hand and maybe the mech to save some £££.
Any ideas on a crankset so look out for in the classifieds/ebay?
Will ask in the dynamo thread on lights.
Anything I should change on the wheels/rim recommendations that'll be sound over the odd rock garden?
Klampers - worth the money? Easier maintenance than hydraulic brakes but still very good is what I have heard...
Some build inspo!
