I get that it's a style choice, but putting all that work into body work, paint and finish, and then NOT using fenders seems like a bad idea to me. Unless of course you never plan to ride the bike, then I suppose it doesn't really matter. By all means put that highly polished oil tank right behind the front tire. Why not?
To me though the appeal of minimalist design is more about making something functional with nothing extra, not about making it so minimalist that you can't actually ride it except in parade mode.
Edited to add: Don't mean to be overly critical. It's a really nice build in general. Whoever did it diod a great job, but that oil tank is an odd touch that only draws attention to the lack of practicality of a fenderless bike. I can see they worked in minimalist hidden lights that might make it marginally street legal, but it wouldn't pass inspection in Vermont without fenders.
