What wheels and groupset you thinking?
Right now, DA92 + Bora Ultra WTO80s. After having a bike with DA92, I don't think I'll ever move away from the hood shape. I think the WTO80s are an exceptionally underrated wheelset (and certainly bling with the carbon hubs). Not to mention the traditional 21-spoke lacing pattern is just perfection for a disc brake wheel.
I am still exploring anodizing/coating/paint schemes for the frame, but it will definitely be avoidant of any blues/reds/purples and instead focus on more natural golds, browns, etc.
I'm loving mine, Cilla, and find I use it for all different types of riding from gravel, road even commuting... I had Tom do a few tweaks a little while ago and moved to his newer handlebar design which, I don't know why, I'm finding massively better...
I think the decision around finish is probably the hardest choice to make and he's come along way in the last couple of years on what's possible... although after just watching the latest GCN video of Sturdy's andosing work in theory I can even get that tweaked...
I love Bora WTO wheels, I have both 45's and 60's, although my latest road bike I've just decked out with classified rear hub.. and that means moving away from them
... but now tempted to order a titanium 1-piece aero chainring for a bit of bling...
Good luck...
Also if you get a chance to go to his workshop it's great... much better than the shed he used to work from at the bottom of his garden..
