Cool! Draws my mind to something from ww2. A fighter plane or something...an elegant tank? :) Really like the bars and the brake handle!

Tack sa myket! This is kind of what i wanted to achieve. note my attempt to take picture of it outside the airplane museum with the DC-3 in the background. I didn't want to pay to go in he he. those brake levers are awesome, you can continue the cable out the other side and to another lever if you want to.
 
Like the diamond frame. Extra points for that choice. Great job.
