I think that ultimately it seems like you know what you want from this bike and that is to be an out and out summer road bike. If I were building a custom summer road bike, I'd without a doubt go for 853/953 along with a tapered head tube and Enve forks but those would probably be my only main requirements. Along with clearances for 28c tyres.
However if I was building a custom bike, that's not what I'd do.
If I was going custom I'd basically get an Indy Fab Club Racer with 1/18th steel forks that had clearances for 28c tyres/guards/rando rack mounts.
Ignoring the entire build other than the frame, this is basically what I'd build. Including the choice of brakes. I like discs, I really do, but I think I'll save them for a touring bike/mountain bike.
Edit, have only just realised that has carbon tubes above. Ignore the carbon tubes too.
