Just got one of these, I firkin love it ! not too keen on the tyres (continental mountain king 2.2)
Noticed you have 2.3's on yours any reason why you changed yours and any reason why you went up to 2.3 ?

that frame looks sweet!

It came with 2.4 mountain kings but they are useless if you lean over in corners. I put the spesh 2.3s on because they have good edge tread and a hard compound centre so roll quite well. I was running them tubeless but was having burping issues. I've just put on some conti rubber queen ust which seem to be a good choice so far.

seen some on ebay but noy sure if they are te same.

I bought them about 18 months ago, on-line somewhere, but I can't remember, sorry! I don't think they make them any more!?!

this is them though, (I paid £20 for a pair)
