Bikes: Foundry Chilkoot Ti W/Ultegra Di2, Salsa Timberjack Ti, Cinelli Mash Work RandoCross Fun Time Machine, 1x9 XT Parts Hybrid, Co-Motion Cascadia, Specialized Langster, Phil Wood Apple VeloXS Frame (w/DA 7400), R+M Supercharger2 Rohloff, Habanero Ti 26

I might look more to say Zinn Cycles like the Clydesdale brand he makes (or someone makes for him that he designs). Being 380+ requires a lot more out of a frame and components and Zinn understands that. Surly makes fine bikes as did All-City but I think QBP would likely say they are unsuitable at that weight. Obviously it will go down but at this point I would make sure it can handle the weight easily and make sure you have very well built wheels from someone who knows how to do it and you have a frank conversation with them so they know what is needed.

Good luck on your journey!
