I have gotten my dream frame, the Specialized Nosecone Shiv. This is quite literally the sexiest bike ever made.
Circumstances are such that I can build this up with the best everything. I am getting custom paint that will make all blood leave your extremities and gather in the crotchal region.
If you had carte blanche to build up a bike any way you could, what would you use?
I am talking everything: brake levers, BB, crank arms, fucking head set bolts. The wheels will be Enve and that is final.
Help me build the most fuckable bike ever made.

Damn it looking good AF.
Edit: the bike looks alright too

And whatever second-hand parts @Zach Boring happens to have lying around.

Fattest BQ on record--- *allegedly

Velvet dingleballs all around the interior headliner.

I happen to think the SRAM red Quarq is cooler than the SRM above, (no offense to Robert). For now, the SRAM red in BB30 is way lighter than running a Dura Ace SRM with BB30 to Hollowtech II adapter. However, in deference to the cyclingnews highly technical claim of "ridiculously light" for the new SRM DA unit, you'd better get these specs. Their last stuff has to go on a "ridiculous diet" simply to match the weight of a SRAM Red Quarq in BB30. Of course your decision may be guided by trying to match the groupset you get. Personally, I'd have no problem running the SRAM Red crank with a DA setup, but I run mechanical so I don't know shit for shinola about the e-stuff. I've never heard that the cranks have any integration with the electronic groupset otherwise.
My only request is you get the little name with US flag saying Dark Mark rather than your proper name.

I find these help relate to the redneck f350 rolling down OK back roads.

CS OSPW and BB: Check
Enve 7.8: Most likely
For the crankset I am doing a 1x build, likely the Absolute Black 1x sram direct mount. Still looking for a good crank arm, preferably very black. Looking for help here.
Powermeter I think I am doing the PowerTap pedals so I can swap between this and the road bike.

Too bad eTap doesn't play nice as 1x, though, because that would for sure be the answer to me if an option. Something to think about, though, is that being 2011, the frame might not actually be the most optimized for electronic shifting, meaning you could have (gasp) a non-hidden battery, or have to take a drill/dremel to the frame, which is never ideal.
I know I will have to have the blip box exposed up front somewhere, but I actually have a clever place in mind that I think will look pretty slick.
Duly noted on the tires. I like the new Vittoria graphenes as well.
