Building up a bike from a frame

I hate generic bikes so building a frame is always the best way for me to do it. I get to choose exactly what I want and the bike comes out to be unique. When the first Look 675s came out they were only available with some sort of Shimano drivetrain and being a Campy guy I put a Record EPS groupset on it, along with a Look aero road bar that was only available from a few suppliers in Europe. Same thing with my steel bikes and this way I always get what I want and end up with bikes that no one else has.
As someone else mentioned, the only real considerations are BB type and brake mounts, pretty much everything else you can play with.
