The bike is a Salsa Mukluk XS 2014, which I purchased as a frameset with a crankset from my LBS. The rest of the components are mainly stuff from previous bikes I've had.
The only color option of the frameset seemed difficult at first, since I had a wheelset with white rims from my own Mukluk. The only option as I saw it, was to have more white components, mainly the saddle and handlebar. complemented with white pedals, stem and some spacers. The end result was a pleasant surprise. In my eyes it is actually quite good looking.
Wheels from my own bike. I'm now into 29+ wheels and tires for the summer and the wider Clownshoe wheels for the winter. I might borrow these wheels for my bike if I go riding in the fells, though.
Rear derailleur from an old bike. I also had front derailleur from an old bike, but it was made for three chainrings up front and looked rather clumsy. My LBS suggested a new one, which was a good idea.
The SRAM X.5 is a reasonably priced and decent crankset for fatbikes.
A framebag is under construction, though it is not of much use with this small a front triangle. There is also very little space for a saddle bag, so when we go bikepacking next week (hopefully), most of the stuff will be transported by me.
