I think it's quite a fun project!
I can also imagine it evolving into a bike people would like to own, perhaps; a 5kg flywheel plus drivetrain and fittings is still a significant amount of weight, but there are plenty of people who willfully ride 38kg bikes everyday.
Of course, most of those heavy bikes are comfort oriented and fully kitted-out, so maybe rendering your flywheel in a Dutch style fabbed in Alu would be the target.
Anyway, keep at it guys, and keep us up-to-date!
