It happened, it's good, rides fine, bit heavy but that's okay.
Two regrets; getting a braze on (can't go sub compact 46/30) and not getting midfork eyelets .. I'll take it back to Winston at some point for this.
Also made this thread into my current projects, the 520 is the beater.
Overall update: gold bike is getting rival 1 hydro, canyon will be with me end of march-ish (got R8070 and hunt wheels for that), decided to keep the moots for now; we'll see, destroyed bearings on China O.P.E.N. so need to take it to a shop to replace those (SKF).
I CBA filtering though 100 pages of coded chat, but @amey ’s description on page one is pretty much what I want to build. Did it happen? Is it now a Trek 520? What are the take-aways?
