If one could get a full custom steel hardtail frame made for UK riding, what would it look like?

Trails & jumps, bit of bikepacking & singletrack. 120ish fork.

What angles, what BB, what tyre clearance, what bosses, what cable routing etc

Not custom, and the price reflects that:

That looks pretty sweet.

I'm going custom because:
A) I'll be building it myself
B) It'll cost quite a bit less even than the Pace
C) No other reason really. Just fancy having a go.

I think I'd be tempted to just copy a Santa Cruz Chameleon. MTBs normally have gussets and braces and things like that, are you doing anything to cope with the extra forces compared to a road bike?
