I like it. Nice, simple, non flashy look. Should make a nice Urban Scrambler that hopefully won't get "nicked".
I prefer it over any of the Ducati Scramblers or the Giant Triumph Steve McQueen replicas. They are pretty but not worth it ... and the Triumph weighs a bloody Ton. That XT is pretty light to start ... and the builder made it even lighter
I'm sure the conversion cost the guy a fortune. Anyone care to guess?
One could skip a lot of what the Berlin guy did and simply do a rattle can paint job yourself, different tank and call it good. Maybe have a wheel shop lace up the 19", and live with the height? $800 pipe not required either, IMO.
My guess is owner could have purchased 3 old XT600's for what that custom job cost. It's ended up a cool bike, IMO ... but not sure I'd pay the money it must have cost. In San Francisco ... we call that a bearded Hipster Special!

Not big fan of scramblers but liked that engine is visible completely.
every time I had this light awkward feeling when covering top end with tank - think that this engine really looks nice and and it should be revealed time after time ( :

I like it except the boxy fuel tank.

this geisha made nearly a boner with one subtle detail, yellowish pair of engine mounting triangles under pale blue of tank the crew knows its job.
