This looks more like a cross between several styles to me. Not so much cafe as streetbike or what some would call a crotch rocket, also see a little bit of bobber in it. The only thing cafe about it to me really is the suspension. Still, nice customization.

I can find wrenches now, but I'm still not used to Kilometers per hour yet.
I am so confused on temperatures, always have to see the chart!

That's a super cool bike!!! My only suggestion is that you should put a proper hub adapter on that beauty so that you don't destroy it. I hate those blasted rag joints. Otherwise it's a superb build! (^)

thanks. it has held up and with the 12g spokes its ok... just keep em true and they are fine. i ride this to work some 10 miles and its held up fine. just funny speed and tork with the small 20" and 36 tooth.. goes fine up and streight but feels much diff from 26"! when i get started on the limited run of copys im going to do half in 24" with disk mount sprocket.. and disk front break....
this has only a coaster and i was flying down the street the otherday and locked the rear cause a car didnt see me and layed it down and slid on my leg for a bit.. but didnt scratch the bike!! so a front break is in the werks....
