Love the visual repetition of the third triangle in the frame and the triangle in the bars. Clear finish on the steel looks good next to the aluminum, and the rims/saddle coordinate well!
I’m curious how the upsweep on those bars will feel in an upright riding position. I generally angle my bars down a bit, though I suppose I’ve never ridden a whole bunch with upsweep instead 🤔

With that head tube angle it’s gonna be nippy like traumatised chihuahua
It’ll look better with tires! I agree with others though, not digging the bars.

Bar looks hilariously huge on this frame, it’s definitely a disproportion.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, slide that saddle back a few cm, slam the bars. But that might defeat the purpose? Anyhow do your thing i dig it!

Looks so bad that it’s come all the way back around to looking good. While the bar angle can’t be leveled out , I like the additional stem triangle to match the triple triangle frame design. Had a similar set up on an all chrome Raleigh Grand Teton. This reminds me of that bike.
Throw some Schwalbe Fat Franks in white and it’ll be killer.
They also come in the same color brown as your saddle, but I’m partial to all white.

Aesthetically? Slam the stem and convert to 650b, and it might look pretty good. But if it feels good like it is, and you love it, let your freak flag fly.

Wild.
Off to a nice start!
Looks like shit
Yeeessss.
Definitely needs tires.
I’d find a nice steel frame to build up.
you’ve got the right idea
I want those wheels, haha
