Awesome looking forward to the pictures. What TT length is it?

ODI grips are made here. Kenda tires too I think, but no one likes kenda.

Ok, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a 22 inch bike... My only thing is the Holmes specs say it has a 14.1 back end. Is that in the middle of the dropouts? I'm riding a 21.5 Mutiny animist right now and I have the back end at about 14.5 right now and that feels too short. But the Animist has a BB height 1.7 above axle center line and the 22Holmes has a BB height 1.25 above axle center line, so I'm back and forth on whether or not the low bottom bracket will balance out the short back end for me.
Can someone with a 22holmes measure the back end for me and tell me how long it is with the axle all the way in the back of the dropouts (but still in), so that I can convince myself that I don't need to spend the money on a custom one with a longer rear end???
@ss4oLe:
Pretty sure back of the dropout sits the rear end length at just over 14.25 (14 3/8ths ?).
How tall are you bunky?
Bunky:
I'm only 5-11 but after riding a Model C a bunch now short back ends feel like they loop out way too quick.
