Very nice build. I'm becoming more and more a fan of this kind of bike. The only thing that would probably keep me from getting this frame is the seat stay mounted rear brake. I have a cross bike that has that and it was a pain to get a rear rack to fit. I much prefer the chain stay mount that some manufacturers do now like on the Salsa Fargo. Though the Fargo wouldn't have been as easy to set up in your situation due to not having an EBB. If I were going IGH like yourself, I'd do what you did for sure.
