After drooling over dtay1990's flat bar here and Jeff's on The Radavist for months, finally tracked down a frameset. Ended up with a ~18 pound build - which is amazing considering my stock chromoly Nature Boy was over 24. Rides smoother, accelerates faster - such a fun ride. Shout out to Velo+ for being a bunch of rad brochachos. [UPDATE 6/2017]: Selling the frameset + Chris King headset. Would also include Wheels Mfg. PF30 + SRAM Red 22 cranks for an additional charge.
Frame:
All-City Nature Boy Zona Ltd. - 55cm - red/white/blue
Fork/Headset:
All-City Nature Boy Cross fork / Chris King NoThreadSet headset
Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
SRAM Red 22 172.5mm crankset / Wheels Manufacturting PF30 Angular Contact bottom bracket

How tall are you? I know I should just find one to test ride. A 55 seems like the closest match to my 56 Steamroller but the standover is 2 cm taller on the NB. Seems like most people riding a 55 NB are over 6'?

Right at 6'. Fits great. Probably wouldn't want to be too much shorter.

Highly recommend the Zona frame over the standard, if you can track one down in your size. There seem to be a few for sale recently for decent prices.

Thanks! I am pretty excited as well. Frame should arrive tomorrow.
This is my first frame-up build, it's fun to see things come together. Tons of parts coming in.
