So glad I purchased during the Anniversary sale after looking again today, they are now $110 USD more than I paid.

I'd add a high quality set of allen and torx keys.  You'll fight a lot of bolts in the workshop.  The frustration related to rounding out a titanium bolt head and then needing to drill out the stripped bolt will take years off your life.

I've seen a few questions, but no definitive answers in this thread:
Has anyone actually run 2.1 or 2.2 tyres in this frame and, if so, what was the clearance like? (Obviously thinking Thunder Burt/Conti Race King if possible)
There is a recent post on WeightWeenie with a pic of 2.2' Race Kings mounted. (about 1/2 way down the page)

You'll need to make the call for yourself based on the conditions you ride in and if any mud clearance is needed. 
Regardless, you'll want to shave the tires hairs on the Kings.  :)

I read about the State Bicycle All Road v2 (https://www.statebicycle.com/collections/carbon-all-road-gravel-bikes/products/carbon-all-road-v2-frame-fork-set-team-edition) last night.  It's obviously the TanTan GR201 but State is marketing it with 2.2" tire clearance rather than 50mm.  I've seen pictures with 2.2" tires in the front, and the clearance looks ok if conditions are dry, however, 2.2" wheel on the rear is a tighter fit.
