Decisions

Ordering in some full carbon forks should be an easy decision as there are very few carbon v-brake forks available and fewer still that have carbon steerers.

A much harder choice is the one of groupsets.  2011 year 105 stuff is easily good enough but part of me says that if I am building myself a bike for the next 15 years shouldn't I spend a little extra on ultegra.  Then my wallet kicks in and says that SRAM Rival is a very good system that is much cheaper, albeit lacking the double-downshift that the shimano kit has.  Then considerations of longevity and ease of replacement push me back towards shimano kit.

If I can get some good FSA cranks second hand then that would push me towards the ultegra shifters.
