Steel boost 29er for a 6'7" rider

This local rider has trouble finding a bike large enough- hope that this one does the job. I used the longest head tube offered by Paragon Machine works - any longer than this and the fork steerer would be too short.
These wishbone seat stays are new to me- an item from Bicycle Fabrication supply in AZ. They are my primary aluminum supplier but they have a good variety of steel as well.
The down tube is a Velospec heat treated 44 mm OD behemoth. It has been a long time since I have needed to use a tube of this stature on a frame for anyone. This rider definitely fits the profile of someone needing a large diameter tubeset to keep the frame durable and rigid.
