I'm generally not a fan of thicker framed bikes but that has a simple elegance to it that appeals to me.

there are three things that people should look for in a bike, simplicity, practicality, and elegance - you have all 3 - great work!

what kind of frame is that? the bars are a great touch too,

You know, I've got to be honest, my first reaction on seeing this was, "What the...???".
However, the more I sat and looked at it, the more I started to like it. It really shines as a finished product, rather than as viewed as its separate parts.
That's a really clever, original style you've got there, congrats - definitely a very cool bike! 8)
