Do you think it would be possible for the frame to clear 29 x 2s? I have a similar build and was thinking of throwing on some knobbys but I'm not sure it'll clear. I have 45c nomads on right now with plenty of clearance

I totally dig the fact that most of your parts are useful; fat tires, Omnium, brakes etc.
But wtf with the arrospokz. You could get some decent Velocity Chukkers for half the price.
