Not to my tastes but that's a cool bike. Nicely done. I have noticed that the current disc brake bikes have very pronounced "lawyer lips" on the forks and dropouts. I've read that the high forces exerted from disc brakes can drive the axles down out of the frame so the QR skewers are held in place by ridges on the frame/fork or by thru axles.

May not be a worry with your horizontal DOs on the rear but you need to watch the set up on your fork. Keep the QR real tight and see if anything moves with use. Watch the rear too until you're sure.

Word to to the wise.
