Lookin good. Are you intending to use that belt drive pulley? If so wouldnt it being significantly larger in diameter than the XS sprocket make the bike geared WAYYY low? Unless you're compensating on the drive pulley by going to a larger diameter.

WOW, I'm very impressed! I'd love to have the skills (and tools) to build a bike from the ground up. Can't wait for the next update!

Now I'm really pissed off that I can't weld. Looking at those pics is like watching a fishing show from Florida and then remembering that it's 10 degrees outside where you live.
Looks great!!!
