Surly Cross Check

Nice, that's pretty much my current project!

I agree with the light coloured tyres, they go nicely with the frame - I've been looking at Schwalbe Delta Cruisers, but don't really know which would be best.

Brave putting the prices up on here, but it's good to see how it comes together!

I have Delta Cruisers on my town bike, they are very smooth but a bit wider than I want for distance riding. It's going to come in about £1300-1400, like I say there's no rational justification for it, I already have enough bikes, n+1 I suppose.
