7005 all-road 650 frame

The year is almost over and I just got a long awaited box of aluminum tubes so I am finishing out the year with a 7005 batch starting with this frame. The fork will be the Enve 'All-road' version that has a shorter axle-to-crown that is best suited to 650 wheels. The frame will still accommodate a 700x35 but it will handle and feel better with the wheels it was designed for- 650x42.
After building steel for the last few months it is nice to change it up and build a batch of aluminum. The process is a bit cleaner and the metal is easier to cut and manipulate-at least that's the way it seems to me. 
This one is set up for hydraulic flat mount brakes and 2x mechanical shifting.
