Other thoughts:
-Clearance for 700x28 tyres (or should I go 700x32 and add mudguard eyes? I want to run shallow drop road calipers. I plan on running 700x25 as a standard tyre)
-Straight blade steel fork, but with geo to match modern carbon so I can swap out in the future if I want to shed weight
-Columbus max tubing? I am a hair under 70kg and want it to be OK for rides of 4-5 hours, but light-ish and stiff enough to climb well. It won't be a crit bike, but I have a winter/ touring bike already (the crosscheck)
-External 1,1/8" headset, 27.2 seatpost, possibly a removable seat clamp? I want simple details
-British threaded bottom bracket. Press fit isn't for me
-Colour TBC, probably black though as I like black. But I could be persuaded otherwise.
-DT cable stops - I want them on the downtube, not the headtube
-Rear cable routing: I really like the internal cable route detail so I'll allow that concession to fancy-ness
