Steel Gravel frame for Marin county.

I still need to build a fork for this one but here's the frame ready for paint. It will take 700x47 tires and will be mated to a shop-built steel fork that will have flat mount. I have been building a lot of these forks as of late as some people prefer the lower cost and longevity of steel. Having to replace a carbon fork every 4-5 years can get costly, even if it is only very 4-5 years. 
This frame is all Columbus Zona so it will be pretty durable over the long run but it is definitely not the heaviest steel that I build with. I have not weight the frame yet but it is probably somewhere in the 4 lb. 6 oz. range - not bad for a steel frame in this size.
