Steel 650 single speed boost frame and fork

The customer wanted a dedicated single speed so I built this one with rocker dropouts to keep it stylish and functional with east chain tension adjustment. The owner wanted a rigid fork and has no intention of ever using a shock fork. 
Even though it is steel it is pretty light. The owner said that he is unlikely to really beat on it and will ride it on dirt roads near where he lives. I made the geometry pretty current so if he ever does decide to ride the steep downhills the bike should feel good.
This one will be built up this week with Shimano XT components and 2.35 tires.
