Those tires rip! How much space is there between tire and fork, looks like a tight fit.

There is still quite a bit, it is 27.5x3.25 but can allegedly clear 27.5x4 in the fork! I don't think I'll be needing/wanting that though. It's a fat bike on diet kinda

Beautiful bars you got there. You may appreciate hydraulic brakes.

It's an upgrade I'm planning! I've somehow found myself doing actual mountain bike trails haha (don't really consider myself a MTBer), I think they'd help some hand fatigue for long rides with lots of descending

Honesty it's just the lever feel is really nice. Stopping power is there with mechanical too. Shimano's nicer models, Deore and up, that feature "Servowave Action" feel so good...

Expensive though.

Wow, this is awesome. Nebraska?

My home server misleads... It is the Drôme department of France where I live (originally from the Midwest US though)

Nah, that has gotta be the Eastern Mountains...
