tks - agree, #steelisreal and it will never be lighter or an alternative to carbon if you are looking for super light, gravel-racer. but if you looking for comfort + durability then STEEL/CROMO is the way to go! our frames use a custom-butted tube set , all the info can be viewed on the below technical drawing, some nice touches include the 31.6 seatpost ( more MTB like and makes it possible for dropper post etc... if you wanted to get ROWDY ) , internal routing on some cables, taper head tube with taller length, curved seat stays further complimenting Steel's natural feel and compliance. best guess would be a custom build would be in the R25k to R30k mark - you can easily source SRAM from your local bike shop - the local importers ( Cape Cycle Systems ) have a full range of cranksets, brakes, shifters, derailleurs etc in stock. you can save some bucks by using Sunrace Cassette / KMC Chain etc.
