Very nice. Is the dropped chainstay for chain clearance/noise? I'd be tempted to make the swingarm symmetrical and mount the brake on the chainstay, tucked between the stays...
I have the material and can cut and apply film over vulnerable spots as needed. It is driven by carbon fiber garage queens who obsess over resale. I don't buy my bikes thinking immediately about resale. That is dumb.
That's a lovely bike! I have mine on order... very excited to get it built up. Can I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'11 and ended up going for a Medium; geo seemed to be in line with other brands' large size. Still slightly nervous to see how it turns out!
