Steel gravel frame with dropper post routing

This frame has both the rear brake and dropper post routed on the down tube. One is external and one is internal-the nice thing is that you can choose one or the other routing for either component. For example, some might prefer to have the rear brake internal for easier disassembly.
The tube set is a mix of Columbus Life and Zona , bringing the frame in at a weight of 4 lb. 7 oz. -not bad for a frame this tall. The bike will be made for 700x45 tires but might be able to take something slightly larger as well.
The reason there are no gear cable fittings is the customer intends to use a wireless Sram group. This is becoming more popular as of late and it saves me a little work.
