Ride position looks uncomfortable as hell though.

There is a point to where you would have to lean too much to take a turn, and longer bikes have to lean much more to take a certain diameter radius turn at certain speeds.
I personally do not believe that this bike would be able to corner at any safe speed (ie, where cars aren't running you over)... the rake/trail is just too far off to be suited for actual roads...
So, this bike wins as the ultimate poseur bike, RUBS buy away!
In fact, the completed bike has no front brake control so the brakes must be linked from the rear pedal, which is stupid. This bike could never be roadworthy. Crazy fundamentalist rednecks trying to become engineers.
