Oddos Raleigh Ronniewagon, Brexit Crust Wanker Hybrid, Gravel Bieks and anodized aluminum

The Fairlight could be built into a rideable state very soon.
I ended up getting a set of Schwalbe G-ONE Allround 650b x 2.25" tyres of here. I already considered them and now I got two for the price of one or two for less than a single Ultradynamico Mars JFF.
Pretty wild to think about the fact that my gravel bike runs the same tyre width as my MTB and even has slightly more clearance in the rear ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
I used a paint marker to black out most of the tyre branding. I might paint over all of it in the end.

Now that the question of tyres is of the plate there are two more things I am undecided about.

1. Polish the crank arms yes or no
   
2. Handlebar tape
   
   

For the handlebar tape, I want something cloth or woven I think. I really liked the woven bar tape I had on the drops on the Raleigh but the colours won't be right. I looked at Newbaums Padded Cloth tape to see if I could match the purple Hope bits with Newbaums eggplant but I think it's a no. Otherwise something beige or khaki?
The misses says something with a pattern would be good but I can't find a pattern colour combo I like on this bike.
