Enve frame

You've got/want the wheels now you can have (it looks nice) the frame https://cyclingtips.com/2021/03/enve-gets-into-the-frame-business-with-new-ultra-premium-custom-road/
Someone mentioned about Shimano frames recently - wonder if this could be a future trend? A Shimano or SRAM bike with their components and a team riding them.

    There's going to be some very excited dentists and consultants out there.

    For everyone else, move along, nothing to see here.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    It is a custom made frame.

    Kinda important to mention.

    no, not really. a bastion is custom made, not so bland and 500 Franklins cheaper.

    Sarto. Cheaper. Not bland. Parlee. Etc.
    its still blandola bland.

    kinda bland with a helping of bland.

    It looks pretty much like a bike - not a fan of matching the stem and seat post to the frame but I'm assuming they can do those in plain black.

    If money was no object and I liked the idea of custom in the absence of some killer reviews I'd probably still go for a company with a pedigree of producing frames.

    I'd go with a company with a pedigree of not building such a bland frame.

    All the top end frames look interchangeable currently, I guess this is the wind tunnel winning design!

    Exactly - it's a modern bike - drop seat stays, slightly sloping top tube, disc brakes - apart from the odd one like those 3T bikes that came out they pretty much all look the same but for the paint.
