Thanks Ryan. I also think it's a looker - and was inspired by other bikes I've seen here, Flickr, and Cyclofiend (I do intend to send pictures there, too.)
I figured the bulldog mini would fit up front, but was pleasantly surprised that it fit so well in the seat bag. I had previously tried to get it in a Keven's bag, and it didn't really work. I don't lock up this bike very often, so easy access isn't a priority. I also like keeping the load up front as light as possible - so tools, lock etc behind the saddle works well for me.
