Is that suposed to look good?
Workmanship looks nice but that DT is too weirdo for me.

I like all the bits and pieces but the frame is a no for me.

Respray an old Hetchins frame, add those bits, and voila, you got a looker. That is funky done right, this is just funky, imo.

Yes, but usually when something is in your eye you can just blink or rub it out and it's all better. I can't blink this one away. ;)

I always thought the Flying Gate frames were cool. Having never ridden one and doing research on chain stay length and it's effect on weight distribution, etc I'm not sure this design is a good idea.

For some reason that bike reminds me of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNTj05I4k5I).

good to be reminded that silly bike designs didn't start with NAHBS. I like it though

I'm only a few minutes in, but this video is worth it. Thanks for posting.
