I'm liking all of this. Just like our cycling used to be - mixing and matching parts, frames, wheels etc without spending money (money that we didn't have, no credit cards, so we could not spend).
The oversize rivets on the saddle are a good idea.
The chainline looks good in the photograph.
The saddlebag made from briefcase leather reminds me of cutting the leather fronts off some 'executive' chairs that I found in a skip (always carry a pocket knife) many years ago. Last used to punch out some leather washers under mudguard stays to prevent creaking.
The handmade headbadge - brilliant. Just leave it outside for the paint to bleach a little.
Hope you enjoy riding the 'Falcon'.
