That looks like a bike that Tom Bombadil would fall in love with. I like it a lot too, looks way too ummm capable of doing whatever needs doing on one's bike. Very nice. I especially like the bars, they make me wish mine weren't so comfortable, so I'd have an excuse to give those a try. The adjustable stem is a nice touch. I see what you mean about maybe a shorter BB spindle. Great job man.
