People have to see this."

That is a sweet looking cycle!!!! And as others have mentioned, the head tube is just crazy-long!!! I understand the reasoning behind it and I'm sure its super strong. Given the rake, I hope you find the steering isn't too twitchy.

I don't think the wheels look terribly disproportionate, but the seat tube looks way too high (admittedly, the only lens I view bicycles through is Touring so my vision is singularly flawed!).

Again, congrats on the SAAA - WEET bike!
