Looks cool as the dickens!!! My only concern though is the the fact that you designed the rigid ass end with only the 2 top bars giving you the "Hardtail"....I think I wuda added 2 on the bottom to increase the strenght and rigidity....give'er that True rigid frame look.

that was my first thought to but i welded the the back part where the axle is to the frame on both sides.
and at first we tested it without the 2 top bars and it was rigid as hell .

I think it'd look cooler if you added the second tube across the bottom to triangulate that axle
