 Amazing frame dude, mad props, you're killin it. The only suggestion I have for you is altering the dropouts, they look a bit haggard in comparison to the rest of the masterpiece... Something like this would tie it all together- www.tonicfab.com/images/product1.jpg

 There is a reason Tonic charges $800 for their frames... this is one of them: A CNC'd, one piece, steel dropout would cost more than 10X what my laser cut drops cost, and theirs are a weaker design: I agree, aesthetically Tonic's are very attractive, but the weld area of a hooded dropout is much smaller. (Less weld area= force exerted over smaller area= more force) Mine are much easier to work with as well.
Also using hooded dropouts is Lunar bikes:

... $1200 dollars. I respect what they do, some of it is just unnecessary. The frame I built is a function-first machine made for abusing.

 They could be smaller like bmx, they seem strong enough.

 I make BMX dropouts as well. They are very small. I dont know what gives the impression that these are large:

I'm pretty anti-cutouts (I've seen failures of others' designs where the cutout allowed deformation.) The weight lost using cutouts is negligible/ better reduced with the use of butted tubing and thinner seatstays.

 dude let them say what they want cause all you have to do is think well they cant make a frame as sweet looking as you so they find things wrong with your work. great looking work man keep up the customs that any one can afford
