I'm a bit worried about the sharp corner at the cable exit. There are better ways of solving the cantilever problem, although disc brakes make the problem go away completely and the only people who should still be using cantilevers are those restricted by the UCI cyclo cross regulations. On that bike, with skinny rims and balloon tyres (a bad idea all by itself, regardless of the brakes), there's a good chance you won't be able to get an inflated tyre past the brake blocks even after you've unhooked the straddle cable.
Oh, and the rear mudguard is so short that you're going to get a wet arse, so it might as well not be there at all.
Epic fail on at least 3 counts.
