Think I would have left it at the down tube decal. On such a small frame the seat tube decal looks really squashed, and the tubing decal looks better on the seat tube than on the down tube where you have it near the head tube. Maybe that's a bit subjective.
Why the severe angle on your brake levers? I like to run mine slightly further down than 45 degrees from the ground, but yours look about 90 degrees! In theory they should follow the line of your forearm as it approaches the bar, but these clearly don't. Must place a lot of strain on your wrists.
Why a 29er when you are clearly not a tall guy?
Are those decals or etched logos? Looks etched to me.

@nspace, jdp211, Wingnut, Thanks for appreciating the ride. Lowering it to 18lbs is the next goal. Scrub disks & Clavicula cranks might do the trick, Alex scandium rims can also help.
@Sola, yeah brake levers were really off, thanks for pointing it out. Its a 26" mtb.
@Ramjm_2000, yes they're etched. Figured it'll be a hassle changing stickers when they get scuffed or dinged.

Actually, now you mention it, that is a 26er. Wow! You must be about the same height as your Avatar! At 6ft 2in, I always wanted to be shorter and lighter and ride a smaller frame.

That is gorgeous. Please give us a drive side shot of this!
Sean does some really nice work. He would be one of my top choices if I had the coin to spend on a custom Ti bike. Lots of innovative details in his frames. Seatmast with thomson clamp looks great.

That's a great looking bike, very clean. Is that ISP an altered Thomson post? More pics please!
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.
