Beautiful! I'm considering building one of these myself in the near future. Out of curiosity, what are this frame's ride characteristics?

I think Robs exact words what he described the ride of this bike to me was 'brutally stiff'.......

Back end was just right, handled really nicely, especially in the air as it felt like a BMX! Just the right length too. Went uphill very well as you'd expect from an elevated chain stay design.

The cockpit was extremely stiff with the BMX style forks and massively oversized stem and bars. It was that which made it very harsh on the front end in the rocky terrain I rode it in. If you lived in less rocky area or installed other forks/stem it probably wouldn't be an issue.
