I was thinking about going with Enve for the stem, post, and bars, but damn those are expensive. Even with OEM pricing, I can afford them.

Which BB design is best? I know BB-30 is out of the question, but what about the other ones?
You ride with Ultegra crank don't you? Get the BB86 threaded then. Or maybe PF86 press fit? I'm still reading complaints that even press fit creak. But if you have to go wider with press fit, PF86, it's compatible with Shimano cranks. Tolerances for PF86 aren't as bad as BB90 and other press fit standards.

If threaded BB86 is good enough for Pinarello F8, it's good enough, unless you think you require stiffer and lighter than Froume?
- PF86 allows for wider chainstay, maybe bigger tires?
