Also... got a five page PDF going over the finishing options, and "no decals except down tube SEVEN and head tube 7" seems to have been translated as "put a USA flag at the bottom of the seat tube and a tubing decal on the bottom of the down tube" etc.

Have had to give explicit instructions on exactly what decals where.

Have boiled it down to:
- SEVEN in black, no outline, on the down tube
- 7 (numeric) in black, no outline, over-sized to be proportionate to the increased size of the head tube, on the head tube
With an additional caveat of:
- If the forks come with an Enve decal already affixed in a non-removable way, and the paint leaves an outline of this (no matter how much a trace outline it is), then add a black, no outline, Enve decal over the pink paint to exactly hide the trace of the decal under the paint.
The colour for the frame and forks is Pantone 2037. Which is a kinda dirty light pink.

My LBS just put 9100 on a ti/carbon Seven. They are incredibly well made frames. Does the geometry allow you to slam the stem? If not those enve stems look very goofy

What is your LBS?

And the stem is the right one for me. I'm sure it will look a little goofy, given the head tube size... but meh, hard to reconcile that little bit of the aesthetic and everything else works well enough.

I'm going for Pro bars http://www.pro-bikegear.com/global/en-gb/road/handlebars/PRO_HA_VIBECARBON but their stem is just the very definition of fugly.

As I've opted for Enve for wheels, fork and seatpost I couldn't think of any great reason not to go with the stem. The Enve stem looks pretty good, but the Seven frame I think is a little more angular than the curves of the stem so this is one thing that I've basically said... who cares, it's a stem, just make it black to match all of the other components and not have anything too fugly about it. It's just a stem.
