This was my inspiration:

This is my take on it with a 26" frame and wheels:



 
Looks nice and I like the inspiration, but I keep thinking that the wheels are larger than 26", maybe 28" or 700c?

... Yeah good call. 26" frame and 700c wheels with35mm tires. I forgot that I switched to the larger wheels to limit negative space in the aesthetic.
 
LTJ- It rides like I remember bmx bikes riding when I was a kid.

I am 6'5" (198cm), so even as a kid bmx bikes were too small. This is like that, but more in line with my current dimentions... All in all it's a blast!

Thanks everyone else for the feedback
