Very nice. I would definitely run some kind of fender on the front though.

I actually like the look of just the spoke front wheel and keep the fatty style rear. But curious, is that the look you wanted or run out of funds?

Not a big fan of the chrome rear fender struts. That's just me. Everyone seems to have them. I rather they disappear visually.
