What are we looking it, it vaguely resembles a bike but no drivetrain I can see...Slightly kidding of course. It looks cool but it was taken from the wrong side post a picture of the drive side let's see this cool bike from the proper angle.

I mean this in every positive way .... this looks like a military issue "Bi-wheeled, utility, general purpose, all-terrain, cargo and personnel transport unit."

Sort of a standard-issue terrain-terminator unit .... "I came, I saw, I rode over it."

Looks great. My only nitpick is that the huge stack of stem spacers. Is it better to use an angled stem and a handlebar with some rise?

Lowering the stem and using a high angle stem wouldn't give as much clearance for stuff in the basket especially with the Jones bar, it's a steel steerer so it's not like it's going to break.
