I don't like the paint too, but it's functional and not for the looks. Paint has survived the fist size rocks banging on the downtube, but the cranks are pretty beaten-up.
It needs fenders to be more functional in it's current mode, but there are not many fenders which could be used with 650B Ice Spikers.
I build it to be year-round bike.
Oh shit, it's yours! incredible work, I think I spent a solid 20mins looking through those 3 pages. Rack is bang on point.
Fair do's on the paint though; I guess I built a bias towards it after seeing how much work went into it.
