Did you call, not email the factory or "Project One" directly to address your concerns. Seems like you should go straight to the source in a case like this, Can't imagine they would not want to work it out. That being said I agree with a total custom build in a case like this.

No problem I was told by my local bike shop, "go to project one" and build it the way you want. Well.......not really... you cannot get that color combo on a custom bike! WTF. You spend that kind of $$$ and they can't build it with the frame color you want? I also was thinking of a 53/39 chainring with a 32 cassette but could never get a straight answer on that one. So much for customization.
Funny, I originally thought of buying the frame and building. Bike shop talked me out of it with a nice discount but now back to building. Guess if I still want to do business with Trek I'll go that route. I welcome alterative suggestions from the group. Not impressed at all with the Project One hype. Thanks!
