Minor complaint that the shoes laces should have been tucked in the shoes. Rear V-brake on the upperside of the stay would perform marginally better too. Is that ball some kind of center of gravity ballast?
Love it. Anymore more information about it and where it was used?

stick an IGH or single speed on there along with discs/hub brakes and I think that's pretty much exactly what I'd like to do with some improvements on my idea (the girvin is just a want full stop, don't care what bike it's on).
