WCCX frame going to Colorado for a junior

I built a frame for the father of this 15 year old when the father was a junior so I guess it is fitting that I build one for the son. My frames have definitely been updated since the first one in 1993 but the main goal has always been the same- build it so it does not hold the rider back in a race and make it fun to ride .

I hope that this light frame checks both boxes. This one is set up for mechanical shifting- turns out that the 15 year old thinks that electric stuff on a bike is a form of cheating and he wants none of it !
