The shifters should have arrived by now?
That a really list of parts. Looks very similar a list of parts somebody sold a few weeks back ;)
I had the same problem with the Pacenti rims. I went the other way and got 28h rims instead of 32h because the were available. Had to get a new rear hub though. I still have the 32h silver hope rs4 hub in case that’s of any interest.

A chat with Winston has taken place, Winston Bike 2 is go.
Global supply chain fucked my rim choice, Pacenti, unfortunately, couldn't get the Brevet rims in my preferred size/spoke count, so plan b was actioned, thanks to @atk I now have a very shiny pair of Kinlin Xr31t rims, that will be built with a pair of Novatec hubs (the campy looking ones), should make for a solid set of wheels.
Other parts acquired so far:
Ritchey Venturemax Classic bars
TRP brake levers
Shimano 6700 front and rear derailleurs (need to make a shim for the front)
Panaracer Gravel King slicks 650b X 48, in black/brown flavour
Shimano 7900 downtube shifters, which @Oddo had off me, now they're coming home
And some other bits out of the shed.
Already thinking about colours for the frameset, Winston is using Aurum now for his powder coating, don't know what their range is like, but what I have in mind isn't 'out there' in any way, so should be ok. Currently, choices are between a mustardy yellow (see @Hulsroy little persons bike), black with silver sparkles or, robin egg blue (Surly Cross Check 2011, I think).
