Great build... schweet looking solid and CLEAN. However, if I may give some + criticism
The whole premise of this hobby of ours is locomotion Yes/No the interpretation of this bike is the builders ability to pull off what he definitely wanted to do... in this case build a engineering masterpiece which he did, bono to Uncle Steve.
I will just simply state after putting 1400 miles on my Cannondale GEBE kit that
less is more, at least when overall mileage is considered. When your doing a 9hr. trip you will not want to worry about all those moving custom built parts having a mishap, believe me you'll be to engaged in the traffic, route, mileage etc...
The other thing to consider is maintenance and power to weight ratios. I have that same engine on the GEBE kit and pulling the #13gear with about 24mph for the sweet spot and about 34mph top end I weigh an even 220lbs. I have to run for now I hope you get the just of my post I'll edit or add when I get a chance.
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride...
