It is an older build and the chainstay brake mount is evidence of that... the new frames are more conventionally equipped and as customs could be set up any way one liked... most are getting disc mounts and have tandem spacing in the rear to cut down on rear wheel dish.
I have a frame like this coming in my size as a demo model and it should be arriving this week... I can't wait to start logging some miles and some of those will be to go and start an apprenticeship as a frame builder. This commute will be 140 km although I will probably get a lift one way to save me some mileage and time.
I am 6'-2" but with long arms and legs. I typically ride 65cm frames with 110mm stems. My seat to pedal dimension is somewhere around 95cm.
