Change of direction...
Now with 2.10" Maxxis Grifter tires, 180mm front rotor and inverted riser bar...
These 2.10" Grifters were lightly used from another bike so I wanted to go through them first before installing a new pair of these on hand, the 2.30" size version.

It appears you will find the stem angle problematic for mounting bags on the block. Perhaps a small bag, maybe.

2.30" meat
Swallow Husky 20 x 2.30"
45T chainring now
.
Tire profile: ~5.5cm
.
20-85 gear-inches
45T x 11-46T
Clearance at the rear of the frame is exhausted. I wouldn't go any bigger there. At the fork, there's still room for 2.4".

This bike is indeed stunning. I like the black/gold combination so much the only thing I would do if it were mine would be to remove the decals from the rims.

...they look absolutely massive. I had mixed results experimenting with BMX tires lately. But i know the Grifter, i have it on my 29+ bike in 29x2.5 - a dream, while a Rant Squad was totally unrideable, being just heavy and stiff. I dont jump against walls. Did you put them on a scale? The Grifters in 2.3 look tempting.
