That sounds like a good plan. Looks like it will be a fun bike to play around on.

I think it looks good--certainly different than what you usually see out there! Didn't Merlin(?) or someone with a similar name used to make a bike that had a similarly styled frame, might have been something like newsboy or similar idea?
