    If the sky is the limit, why not go for Dura Ace components? Or SRAM Red (or Black Red or whatever their top of the line is)?

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    well... if money is no option then go with top of the line.

    Campagnolo super record 11S
    Dura Ace Di2
    Zip 2011 808 wheelset (others may beg to differ)
    specialized Ruby saddle (I use toupe and I like it)
    speedplay pedal get a titanium spindle (I use stainless steel x/2 it and I like it)

    and while at it why not use power tap for your rear hub so you can record your power output. use Garmin Edge 800 as your cycling computer.

    Personally, I use SRAM force, and Ultegra on my bikes. Top of the line is just lighter for whole lot more $$. And I'm not sold on "wireless" Di2. What happens when the battery dies?

    I've ridden with 105 and it's okay.
    I've ridden with Chorus and I love it.
    I've ridden with Centaur and it's okay.

    I agree that Ultegra is the best bang for your buck. I do prefer Shimano over SRAM. It's mostly a personal preference, but as a mechanic, I find most SRAM stuff to be extra finicky.

    When money is no object, Di2 all the way. The shifting is amazing and the battery gets around a thousand miles per charge. There's an indicator to give you an idea of how much power is left.

    Congrats on the new frame!

    I thought it was just me about Force being finicky... BTW, I use Ultegra chain with my Force. Didn't care for the SRAM chain.
