The Raleigh’s looking mighty fine. Is the model called Hinterland or did you come up with the name? In any case, it’s pretty cool :) I reckon a subtle light green would go well with the silver bits. Really like the green on Velocio’s robin mather for instance:
BTW: There’s a 1x1 for sale in Germany atm.

@stelfox: Cheers! "I want to ride it around on holiday in the sunshine." That's exactly the vibe. I also prefer the proportions of the bike with these new bars. With the drops I always felt like it looks weirdly tall and empty without the bar bag.
@spotter: Thanks! Means a lot coming from you. A lot of the bikes you post around here heavily inspired this bike.
@Maj: Gonna print that and hang it on my wall.
@vpCogworks: Thank you! I think I prefer these bars too.
@atk: Do it! I'd love a 1x1. I started too late getting into fat tyred bikes and now it seems like they are very rare.
@baguette: "low rent" is cool! This started as a budget project too. The recent more spendy bits only made it onto the bike because by now I know I love this bike! The cassette, shifters and derailleurs are classic cheap bits off eBay but they are brilliant!
@lt: Cheers!
The Mars Race (grey) tyre is sold out with them online. The Rose Race tyre in 700c x 42 or 650b x 47.?$£ looks about the same on the shelf and it seems like they still have some of those.
At the moment I am gravitating towards the Black JFF Mars tyres. They just look so rad.
Here is a quick sketch and a picture of @PhotonBelt s Custom Brother Mehteh rocking those exact tyres.
