I have been able to stick to about 3 manufacturers of components to make the bike seem as though factory spec Frankenstein. As far as beauty well, that would be in eyes of the beholder. A fine balance between sturdy quality components and grams and dollars. Where I come from I would say that the bike will be quite " fugglie " at best. We shall see
I really want to see this thing finished let us see photos of the parts you have and on the scale if possible. still cant get over the chainstay design its a really distinguishing feature on that bike.
