• My current thinking is now:

    • Seven - either Axiom SL or Evergreen Pro or 622 SLX - whichever gives me the best comfort and accommodates wider tyres
    • Shimano Dura-Ace R9170 Di2
    • Quarq DZero Four crankset
    • Enve 4.5 AR Rims with DT Aerolite spokes on DT 180 rims with center-lock for the discs

    But... will test ride me some Di2 before I commit to going Shimano. Will also want to look at the frame extras and compare stiffness and other minor things to decide on the frame.

    I'm probably going to blow my budget, even with help from lovely people on here.

  • Now that's nice, enve GRD?

  • Shimano Dura-Ace R9170 Di2

    Probably the first hydraulic shifters that finally look good.

  • I think you are on the right track with seven: not only are they some of the most experienced builders in the market, they also are one of the most successful, which, fingers crossed, means they'll be around for a long time should you need support. With smaller, newer builders there's less of a guarantee.

    I will say though that the evergreen's headtube looks wank and a shop owner who sells mostly sevens has said it's not his favorite of their models.
