Steel gravel frame going to Colorado

What sets this frame apart from most recent steel frames I build are the following: Post mount brake, down tube der. routing and a Paragon Machine works integrated head tube.
Another departure from the norm is the use of Reynolds 853 tubes. These are more expensive so the price of the frame is higher. The 853 tubes are very good and probably worth the extra $$$ for some. Frames I build with 853 have always gotten rave reviews for ride quality- me, I'm not sure I could tell the difference but then I have not personally owned an 853 frame in over 40 years. Maybe my next one will have those tubes......
