I'm just curious, but is it possible to route the rear brake hose through the holes in the plates on the side of the frame between the top and down tubes? That would look really slick if you could route the cable inside the frame. Nice bike anyway.

Nice bike! Just curious though... how in the world do you get the front wheel up with that low stem/handlebar set up with a bottom bracket that high(+60mm)?? I have the same bike...and used the Echo mod stem with no spacers, and it was impossible to do pedal ups to rear wheel without the front feeling like it weighed a 100 pounds! It finally took a 170mm x 35 degree stem to make this bike feel perfect for me.
Hmmm?...not even sure how your actually able to negotiate obstacles with your set up???????? Nice bike....though I was kinda expecting a true "all black" bike.

Well that size of stem was a requirement from the customer. I do agree that a longer stem would be better but that's not my choice...

Yes you can do that and it would look really nice and clean. The lack of time (and a customer who really wanted his bike!) prevented me to do so.

Nice bike. I like it.

Can I ask if a rim brake line is set that way (crossing to the other side), is it because of forward foot preference etc, is it the correct way, or there isn't a correct way to mount it?

Looking good! I like "stealth"-looking bikes.

But what's up with the welding in the last pic? It looks off... Not the same on both sides.
