First custom steel frame

Hi, I'm interested in a steel frame made to my dimensions. I contacted a local frame builder and discussed some of my preferences: essentially I'm looking for a tig welded frame, Reynolds tubing (of some description) and either a steel or carbon fork.

I'm 6'3" tall and weigh ~72kg (160 lbs). Intended use is mainly fast club rides and crit racing. The builder suggested Reynolds 853 tubing would be suitable but wasn't forthcoming about tubing diameters or other info.

Can anyone suggest a good combination for my weight and intended use?
