Ok, so after the comments above I think I'm going to go for the 44mm Head Tube and road forks.
I'm still not totally anti the Wound Ups but what I do not want is the 'gappy' look of having a narrower road tyre in a CX fork. So looks like 44mm and road fork it is. Attached and here (http://www.donhoubicycles.com/lukes-commuter/) are a couple of Donhou examples. The attachment is a 44mm HT with the enve fork and the link is a CX fork with guards. This link is Toms Continental build with CX Wound Up forks for comparison: http://www.donhoubicycles.com/sams-continental/
So now I need to decide if I need guards or not... Aesthetically I prefer the no guards look but I want the option to add them, especially as this is essentially an Audax bike. Aftermarket eyelet additions to the Enve fork seems quite above and beyond, I have not even mentioned to Tom that others are doing it. So do I go Lynskey or Whisky... The Enve will always be an option with the 44mm HT... right...?
Chain stays will now be Stainless on the drive side. Polished or brushed... Thinking brushed.
Fork options from Tom:
Kinesis DC37 or CXD
Wound Up (various)
Enve Disc Road or CX
Lynskey Road Disc (but can be thought of as a CX fork length wise)
Whisky No.7 or No.9
