7005 disc road frame for a very tall rider

The person who will pilot this giant is a bit of a giant himself at about 6'7". His current ride is a decades old steel frame from the late Peter Johnson. The customer asked if I could build him something a bit racier than his current bike which has a fairly long wheelbase and relaxed geometry. 
Going with aluminum will give this rider some more stiffness, less weight and maybe a racier feel. I hope that he likes what I built. It is daunting to build a frame for someone who has one of Peter's rare beauties but hey- it is all in how it rides so if the customer likes what the bike does on the road, my job was successful.
