Freaking cool build here; it's clear you put a lot of thought into it, from concept to parts selection. And the contrast between bars and frame works far better than I'd have expected. Street rod sensibility meets cycling enthusiast and the result is EPIC. 
Very curious though: What's the story on the rear axle?

Great unique build. Will be a head turner for sure.
I like those bars, remind me of the CW Phaze 1 which are now insanely priced into the K's as many did not survive,. But form was eye-catching. https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/cw_racing/43259
I've been prepping to build my own custom that is not unlike a cruiser/Rando/retro as I dont think I will ride road forever. Hope to have done this year or early next and it turns out cool to this level.
