That is one nifty looking bicycle. It seems counterintuitive, but I like the swooptop style more than the traditional sloping top tube. It may have started way back with the first prototype photo of the Clementine (2014?). My immediate reaction was, that is the ugliest. I guess I then had a sudden conversion experience, because a couple minutes later, I decided I was going to buy one when they became available.
My favorite aesthetic would still have to be the diamond frame with standard diameter tubing and level top tube. But for the modern generation of bicycles with bigger tires and do-anything attitude, the Gus Boots/Susie, and the Charlie, and the swoopstays on the upcoming Platypus, along with slightly OS tubing and fat rubber--I don't know why, but just a pleasing overall look. Not really retro, but not super aggressive like so many of the current designs out there. That swoop softens the lines and gives it a convivial look--yet plenty bad-ass enough with big knobbies and bullmoose bars. The Charlie below looks great with what looks to be flipped albasomethings. Would look equally good with some type of flared drop.
