CX frame for team member

 The guy who will race on this frame turned 14 not long ago. He , along with one of his team mates might be one of the fastest 14 year olds in the country. He has won an open B CX race where most of the riders in the field were in their '20's . He's that good.
 The frame is one of the few new aluminum CX frames that has a flattened top tube, internal down tube hydraulic routing, flat mount brake and no seat stay bridge. This bike is designed specifically for the next nationals course in Washington state. There might be mud, there will definitely be a long run. Those course features , along with a lot of experience with building race bikes combined to shape what you see here. The changes on my race bikes have been coming fast and furious as of late but I'm confident that this style of frame will be what I build for the next couple of seasons at least.
The frame is paired to a newer Enve CX/Gravel fork with 50 MM rake. It should compliment the front end of this frame well.
