the frame I'm still undecided on... Seven, yes likely... but I may change from a Carbon/Ti mix to Ti.
You seem pretty keen on Seven, but just to throw one more into the mix, I always liked the look of Kualis frames - the builder worked at Seven for several years amongst others before going solo, then moving back to Japan recently (so prices now in ¥ not $). Detail and paint are amazing. Not sure if he has a partner in London currently.

I am keen on Seven. The ones I've seen look great, the ones I've ridden felt great, and I trust that the framebuilders Cycle Fit work with will translate the characteristics of the ride I want into the bike rather than just the fit measurements.
Kualis look interesting, but it doesn't look like he's made many thru-axle's yet. Looks interesting enough to follow though. I bet in a year or two his work is even more incredible.

More thinking... thru-axle for disc brakes, but staying with a mechanical groupset.
Spent ages looking at Super Record vs Record, I can't see the Super Record advantage so I'll probably go Record.
For disc brake... oh it's a mess when one chooses Campagnolo, so I'll go with a temporary solution to last a few years before settling at that time and potentially swapping levers. The temporary solution either Avid BB7's or Hope V-Twin with a pair of Hope X2 calipers.
The fork and finishing kit remains Enve, the frame I'm still undecided on... Seven, yes likely... but I may change from a Carbon/Ti mix to Ti. I want a more comfortable ride over greater distances then a super stiff race bike ride... I'll discuss this with them.
