My point in bringing up your fit issues is that it might prove challenging for you and a builder to design a bike that addresses your fit issues if you haven't quite figured out what those fit issues are. I have a custom ti Moots that doesn't quite fit so I know firsthand that while custom should fit like a glove, it doesn't always work out that way.
If I were in your shoes, I might go out of my way to work one on one with a builder like Tom Kellogg at Spectrum Cycles in Pennsylvania, i.e., somebody who really knows bike fit and design.
ETA: I wanted to clarify that I have absolutely nothing again Seven or their custom program. I know several people who love theirs. I mentioned Tom by name because he invites his customers (at least he once did) to visit his workshop in Pennsylvania for a personal fitting. Interestingly, Seven actually works with Tom in building the bike itself. Whether you go with Seven or another builder, I would want to work closely with a builder/fitter who takes the time to understand your fit issues.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
