Great frames but don't go chasing lightness with it. I have a medium 53cm one built up with all reasonable stuff - full carbon fork, SRAM rival, force 22 carbon cranks, carbon smp saddle etc and it's well over 8kg. Stiff though and good to sprint on.
Go wide wheels if you can but you wont fit anything other than a true 25mm tyre through the rear wishbone stays. I ran a Vittoria corsa 700x25 (more like 27mm wide) for a day and it burned off the paint!
Keep the streampost quill clean and greased otherwise it will stick.
I vote sram rival 10spd - excellent groupset.
