Its a pinnacle. Its a good bike but I don't love it. I'd gladly sell it, sell the caad7 buy a brompton and have the caad12 as my only road bike. I don't care for fat tyres or guards. But most of everything else I see doesn't excite me like this does
I feel you but you are chucking cash in the wrong direction and bodging things at a bad end of the spectrum i.e. Sram front mech, its one thing where you need the best possible built in (over)engineered stiff solution.
I'd even say sell everything, ride arkose as its not too far off from this, maybe spend some money on making it light or get a brompton
