@rekhyt I'll admit I have toyed with the idea of debadging the fork, but so far have opted against it. I've also considered it with the crank and shifters. We'll see.
As for the tube diameters, honestly beyond the headtube I don't know. I'm sure I could get the figures from Firefly.
Headtube is a standard 1 1/8" non-tapered. Regular Chris King NoThreadSet.

Off with the race wheels, on with... whatever this setup is called.
Cheap 32h OEM wheels off a Trek (presumably Formula hubs/Alex rims), 28mm Vittoria Randonneur Cross tires and Shimano M520 mountain pedals for D2R2 this past weekend.

Occasionally I wish I'd gone with the standard-threaded.
I'll be honest, when I bought this I had only ridden sub-$1k aluminum bikes and didn't really have any idea what I was looking for in a high end bike. As far as head tube, bottom bracket, etc. I was just basing my decisions on what I was reading.
On the bright side, I've had the bike over 5 years now and the BB hasn't given me any real problems. Eventually I'll replace the groupset, and that will make it more difficult, but overall I'm still over the moon with this thing.

In that case, you are one lucky man
Like I said, other than that, I really like her. Firefly was on my list of potential builders for my project and there's a good reason for that.

I don't think so... the stem weight between the 3T and Thomson is basically a wash (151g vs. 149g by my measure) and the seatpost from Thomson is a fair amount lighter (260g vs. 238g). Bear in mind I had the heaviest option of both when I was running the 3T kit. I got the Thomson kit largely because I think it looks good, but the weight is still pretty good for alloy bits.

You can always thread the bottom bracket to accept T47 thread fit bottom brackets.
I had my bike designed around a T47 bb, but they were not available when the bike was complete, so I rode around on a PF30 bottom bracket until Enduro released the T47.
I've put thousands of k's on my t47 without a problem, and bike is tremendously stiff with a big, fat bb junction!
