7005 CX frame for a local

I have built two other frames for this customer over the last 30+ years but this is the first gravel frame for him.
After a couple of falls on his road bike he decided that a longer frame with larger tires and disc brakes might be safer. A friend of his offered up most of the parts for the build so he pulled the trigger on this build last year and I am finally building it.
The rider is 6'5" so this is a really tall one. Not too heavy , even at this size-I went with a 44 mm down tube to keep the frame from feeling too twisty.
