Here is my first build at a bike that I wanted to be different than what everyone else has around me. Input greatly appreciated.

Might as well mount a brick on the seat post and save money. Your ass will never forgive you either way.

A brick?! Sounds to me like you've never broken-in a Brooks saddle. It's a hammock for your ass, no matter how bony it is.

After admiring them for over 20 years, I bought a B190 in 2017. It's way more comfortable than any saddle I've tried.
 
Beautiful build!

Only thing I can think of is personally I think that thing is begging for an in-frame tank...any way to seal that faux one to make it functional??? Then you can remove the front mounted barrel tank and it will be ccllleeeaannn.

No need to break one in, as soon as I see one my booty puckers up real tight!
 
Thank You mark 20 it took me a long time but I think it was worth it.
it looks like a sexy beast. Good work man. 5 months. Great, that's short. I like to think of me as the government, as i have lots of delays with my builds. My projects always look ugly but underneath the looks its way overbuilt in power/ speed/strength/beefiness. Hopefully my motor pusher is done soon.
 
EVERYONE thank you for all your input. I have gotten so many ideas for my next build from here i had to write them down!!!! Building these bikes has become my new hobby....lol
