Steel cross country MTB frame for a local

This one is not made for really big tires but it does have boost spacing. It also has an integrated style head tube. The advantage is with less headset stack the head tube can be a bit longer and less overlap of the tup tube is needed to fit both tubes on the back of the head tube. 
Much of the steel on this frame is US made. The top tube is NOS True Temper and the down tube is Velospec made from surplus True Temper steel that was drawn into tubes in Taiwan , then sent back to the US . You might say that these tubes have a larger carbon footprint than the original but if you want this US made steel, Velospec is currently the only way to get it.
