And thanks again. @Sig_Arlecchino already put me on to them in the meantime. He runs old skool bar ends in the described position and it works aesthetically on his 90s marin but I like the idea of the more modern SQ labs on this wee more modern bike. Some are making their way to me as we "speak".
Conclusions:
off-road is fun
on road with an ATB less so
Bikepacking is the future. Looks much cooler too. The orange fits my wapha.
Improvements:
Coming from drops I put my hands ON the brake levers all the time because they "felt" like the hood position. Two blisters besides padded gloves. I have my eye on some stumpies
I want to try less off road tyres but more mixed.
Felt undergeared as in, could use some more teeth up front.
Roadies don't wave to mountainbikes. Even rad bike packing ones.
pack more aesthetically to make Tijmen proud.
Do an overnighted wild camping soon
I have a sneaky suspicion the hope seat clamp can't cope with my above mentioned 150% weight because I kept slippin', slippin', slippin'..

Emergency rival road cranks gotta go.
Nighty night, that was exhausting!
