I think your concept is very sound and my Handsome Devil is set up very similarly to your bike (even has a 1x9 drivetrain) and it would be a great commuter.

I love seeing bikes that are highly individualized to their riders needs.
Handsome does a pretty cool bike too! Maybe a little bit more cruiserish off the shelf? Probably lighter too. Fairdale only make a few different models but they revolve around a pretty cool concept. Make it strong and long lasting... the owner was a pro BMX rider (fairly well known) and took the BMX world and brought it to city bikes/road. They're still very new but I'm sure they'll really take off in a few years.
