Looks sharp! I have a soft spot for Campy builds with Record hubs....so I would go with either Farsports or Nemesis. Preference would go towards the Farsports because I think the profile would match the frame aesthetics.

That is exactly my thought... Just silver-ish brake track do not fit to very black & mat frame. Somewhere in net found image of Zephyr with Mavic Ksyrium Exalith wheels- looks terrific in comparison to anything elese aluminium .
I like how NEIL ride- had Nazare, but tad to small and sold it . Was searching for frame which will look good with low profile wheels - I'm bit tired of visually "heavy" framesets. I know it's personal, but I like wheels up to 30mm profile.

Hi stormur,
I think you will like the Zephyr. I have owned one for the past year and its been a great bike.
Just to give you an idea of the end weight, here's the build list on mine:
Frame/Fork: Neilpryde Zephyr Size M
Seatpost: Ritchey Superlogic (the original carbon NP seatpost, although matches the finish, is quite heavy. I also found adjustments with it difficult)
Stem: Easton EC90SL 90mm
Handlebar: Easton EC90 SLX 44CM
Saddle: Fizik Aliante w/ carbon braided rails
Crank: Cannondale Hollowgram Si SL w/ Stages Powermeter & Rotor Q-rings
Brakes: EECycleworks
Bottle Cages: Arundel Mandible
Pedals: Look Keo Blade 2 w/ Ti spindle
Drivetrain: Sram Red 10 spd
Wheels: Zipp 303 Firecrest clincher (F), Zipp 404 Firecrest clincher (R)
Came out to right around 7kg
Very excited to see how yours comes out especially with the Campy Record!

At my size 190g seatpost is very light had previously 3T LTD and it survived 1 ride . For me reliability is on 1st place, then it comes weight.
Anyway post is so long, so it can be ( it doesn't mean I will do that ) cut by almost 30%, so 150g weight is achievable.
Surprisingly my CX bike ( Wilier Cento UNo Cross Carbon ) in approx same size has frame ( BSA bb ) just 100g heavier, that's mean it's lighter than S-Works...
I could cut weight on cables, skinny wheels, uncomfy saddle... but no. Just need perfectly working & reliable "allrounder" at reasonable weight . Only 1 "must" is Campagnolo.
Having 65%/35% power ratio between left/ right leg and (still) few kg to much, I'm still weakest point of any of my bikes .
