One possible concern I have about this as a project bike is as follows: When I stand behind it and look at the seat stays, it appears to me as though the drive-side stays flare out at a very slightly exaggerated angle compared to the non-drive-side stays. It's to a point where I can't tell if it's real or imagined. If it isn't a figment of my imagination, then it's not hard to reason that this is an intentional design feature. However, I figure you guys would know better than me, so I'll put it to you guys. Should I look into that? With the rudimentary parts setup I bought it with, it rode fairly well, so I'm not terribly worried. Merely an observation.
