Steel gravel frame in copper

This frame is the same color as the previous posting but this frame is steel. The unique thing on this fame is that it has an integrated style head tube- something I use on nearly every aluminum frame but seldom on  steel. It actually works really well on a smaller frame like this as there's more room for the top tube so that there's no overlap between the down and top tubes. This simplifies the building process and makes the frame a bit stronger mechanically .
I'll be hoping that this customer can get the build parts soon as I can't wait to hear a ride report. Every tube on this frame was tailored to fit this smaller riders stature. I built this one differently than most so I am curious to see how it performs .
