Steel boost 29er frame for a local

This one is really stout and made for hard riding. When the customer told me about the kind of rides he does I decided to go with a big 44 mm down tube from Velo-Spec. This is USA steel milled in Taiwan. I think it is perhaps the most durable steel out there and the manufacturing quality is really good.
The frame is made to take up to 2.5" tires and has some fairly modern geometry with a 76 deg. seat tube and 66 degree head tube. The head tube is also made for an integrated headset. I hope that the customer does not mind a few ounces of extra beef in the frame-I want this one to last the ages.
