I know I can get some other options from this group.
It would require someone in Nashville to know what is physically available in the area.

with that said, there are some great options right now in quality frames. Depending on size, i wouldnt count on many to be local.
below is an abbreviated rundown of frames and complete bikes that have quality tubing and are, in my opinion, well designed/thought out.

https://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/questelite.html - reynolds 631 tubing frame with carbon fork
https://shop.fairdalebikes.com/colle...ship-surf-blue - double butted tubing with enve carbon fork

There are a lot more- this is just a sample that is hopefully wide ranging in style, look, and setup for you to get an idea of what you might want.
