Too early to find funny hippo image response.
This bike look great. The only thing I'd consider is a wider range block for town riding. I ride a 52 x 12-28. I'm sure its fine as is, but it's nice to be easy on my knees when taking off.
I always run a back brake as it lets me control weight distribution when slowing into corners, and can let me force a very slight oversteer by using the rear brake. Front brakes aren't much fun when you need to brake while leaning and cornering.
