Steel gravel frame going to Switzerland

Yes- I'm back on steel for a few weeks until I get back to the last pre-season aluminum batch coming up in mid to late May. This one has the slacker longer geometry that this particular shop -Cyclecraft- is pretty big on. Chainstays are a healthy 439 mm........or at least that's what I remember from the drawing. 
This one should be nice and stable at high speed. I used one of the newer Nova tapered head tubes and gave it a little bit of machining to make for some collars at the ends. This one weighs in at 4 lb. 7 oz. and is made of Columbus Zona for the most part.
