Looks very effective, and I like the build a lot in terms of function. I don't understand the rear fender, poop or get off the pot, but otherwise I think it's smart...
I can't call it hot, but only because of one thing - that bulbous Shimano crank...I guess my pet peeve are Shimano cranks, they're just hideous with one or two exceptions. I'm not a CF guy and I'm not usually into straight bars, but it's such a clever build that it works for me. This is a case where the sum is greater than the parts.
