Yo! Hey, I totally understand that critique. I built this bike to actually ride rather than be a showpiece, so I made the decision to put parts on it that would facilitate as modern a ride as possible while still retaining some retro flair. It's a resto-mod, not a period-specific restoration. So, it's got a 1x10 SRAM transmission with a White Industries crank and it rides amazingly well.
