So unless there is another fork with conventional mounting and top clearance, does that make this a dura-ace only bike?

it is a shimano only brake bike. You can always run sram or campy other parts

As for the messy front end, maybe they will offer a brake which is designed specifically for this head tube/fork and is very aero.

Given that they have had to get the 5 and 6 newly certified as well I'd suggest they will be the models that take conventional brakes but have similar Kamm tube shapes

Weight is apparently 750 grams for a 56! I think the integrated front brake it quite a good idea, but as said previously the rear one seems like an odd choice. However I bet those brakes are so heavy they negate any advantage of a low frame weight. It is a very clean looking frame at least.
