Do you have any photos of the front of the uni.
Frame looks interesting
Is that a Flansberrium Steel frame?
No, it’s a prototype 36" titanium frame.
Is it just the photo or is it wonky ? It looks like if you was to put a larger wheel in it would rub on the right hand side.
It’s not the best photo I’ve ever taken, but the frame is totally fine. This is the only photo that shows the front of this frame in my album. I don’t have a chance to take a decent photo for it recently, and I dont want to keep @Unikev waiting 
Phase 2: the frame is here! Now waiting for the rim…
The frame was custom made, with dual brake tabs and cable holders. Titanium seat post and collar are also included. It’s actually a 31" frame so I can install a tire up to 29x3.5".

So this is not a 36er frame. I became a little confused. Ignore I answered my own question.
The pic in the 29th post is a 36" frame. It was lended to me to test if it’s Schlumpf compatible (which is). The latest image is the custom 29"(31") frame I ordered. Both are with a 26" wheel as I’m still waiting for my 29" rim.
Got it, thanks.
Is the cat part of the build? If you put it inside the wheel, will it make it roll like a hamster?

No, she’s only inquiring whether I’ve diverted her fish fund.

It’s my first time lacing a rim, it’s fun and not particularly hard with the help of the great videos made by ParkTools; it only requires a tad of patience. The LBS guys praised me for my work, proud of it!
Putting on the tire was the hardest part, as discussed here. Fortunately I found the right guys to help me install it, just before I was going to give up.
So my Ultimate Commuter build is now done! Thanks to everyone who gave me help in this process!
Pics will come soon!
