Looks fun.

sram rear mechs and that huge cable loop ...

Needs this:

Do you mean pencil or penile, because those two things mean very different things when it comes to thickness. The stays are not pencil-thin, they are just a normal tapered stay.
These are pencil stays:
Pencil-thin.
It was an exaggeration, to illustrate the fact that I'd have though with discs you'd want some bigger tubing. But it was also a question.
WTF dude, that is grim!

The brake load mostly goes into the chainstay, but what goes into the seat stay is mainly compression. Compare that with a rim brake, which converts brake load almost exclusively into bending load in the middle of a long thin seat stay and you can see that pencil stays are probably more out of place on a rim braked bike than they are on a disc braked bike.

where rim brake puts the bending load is an ultra short rear bridge, which absorbs most of it and only fraction of that load transfers to the seat stays.
this is why this successful solution has not been given up on for couple of decades now. -

it has expensive parts and knobby tyres, every hipster loves it because cx is the new cool:)

You're an idiot. Go back to engineering school and work out the load path before commenting further. The case of the seatstays as a beam loaded with brake reaction (whether transferred from a centre bolt via a brake bridge, or directly into the cantilever/V-brake bosses) near the middle and supported at the ends by the seat lug and dropouts is one of the simplest stress calculations on a bicycle. If you can't cope with that one, god help us if you ever choose to weigh in with your ill-informed opinion on what happens to the down tube when you apply the front brake while turning.

nothing?

Nasty seatpost, other than that, its gnarly

My LBS has one of these in stock, and I think it's my favourite bike ever.
This is great too, carbon and stainless.
