Thanks for all the kind words guys.
I am very stoked about this bike...been very happy with the result. Still kind of messing with the fit, the steerer will remain uncut until I am 100% sure.

The fender is actually the quite lengthy but I had to put it in between my fork crown and the brake, which pushed it up. I need one of those problem-solver nut like you have.

I'm about 5'11"ish, and it is a 59cm. I am extremely happy with the sizing, top tube is perfect and the seat tube is longer than my previous bike, no more seatpost galore.

Also, I found this for you...
Thanks Lilc. I bought a little squirrel figurine similar to yours yesterday at the art store. It's so delicately-made and cute. Random story, bro.
