Would love a minimal 29er like this. Looks like loads of fun. Superb photos as well!

Cheers and thanks for the appreciation.
It's a lot of fun but also kinda necessary when it suddently rains 20cm of snow over night.

I know what you mean. Since I began commuting year-round, I was debating about getting an SS 29er for the winter months myself. But instead of adding yet another bike to my stable, I just converted and old 26" MTB with studded tires for those messy days. Still I wonder if I made the right choice though!

You probably did since I don't think as a commuter a 29er makes much difference over 26" wheels as it's mostly the width that counts during winter.
But you seem like a tall guy(6' 3" or so) so in the trails the bigger wheels size of the 29er might be a reasonable choice.
Or you could go for krampus 29+ and get the 3" knobbies..

Question, did you use a torque wrench to attach the stem to the bars?? If so, to what degree?

FFF says:
I didn't use(recommed you should) and 5nm torque is pretty standard for bars.
