Dissenting vote here. Interesting idea, but the brakes will likely suck in a major way. It took the largest bike company in the world, Giant, a couple years to get similar fork mounted brakes to work on their Propel, and everyone in the cycling world HATES under bb brakes-they are a pain to adjust, set up and keep clean. Specialized has had issues with similar brakes on its new $10000 Venge Vias.

The aero chainstains will ride very harsh, particularly in a "full t1000" bike-btw, no major manufacturer uses "all" t1000 in their top end bikes, its too stiff.

A leftover 2015 cannodale Supersix EVO Highmod will be similar money. Yes, it won't have the integrated lights and garmin, but will be 100% better bike. Its ride quality is revered.
