Err i think you will find that the seat will need to be raised. or there will be lots of tyre seat contact. Moving it forward will help as well.

It would be retro if you used retro parts, such as; Bars, Stem.

It's nice but i wouldn't say its retro.

You're dead right, that frame is only 5" IIRC and should be running something much shorter.

I reckon that's bullcrap. My rig's mainframe is 8 years old now, and still going strong, even after stacking hard enough to snap a swingarm.
Lifetime warranty on the frame, in fact.
