Updates on my Straggler build...

I now have the majority of the components at home and the final few bits on their way to me. I should be able to build up this weekend or next. :)

I've opted for:
- SRAM Rival 22 11-speed groupset (50/34; 11-32)
- Novatec D771/D772 hubs to Pacenti CL25 rims
- TRP Spyre disc brakes (w/ compressionless cables)
- Salsa Cowbell bars w/ Lizard Skin tape
- Easton E50 seatpost and stem
- FSA Orbit X headset
Standard commuting mode will comprise of:
- 35c Ribmo tyres
- SKS Longboard mudguards
- Soma Porteur rack
However, I plan to remove the above in favour of some >2" knobblies for the occasional bit of off-road fun. :)

Good call, hopefully the full hydraulic system will be cheaper in the next year or so.

Be wary of Lizard Skins by the way, they last as long as Pacenti's road rims.

That's interesting to know. I've had Lizard Skin tape on a few bar setups in the past and I've really enjoyed it, however I always swapped/sold bars/bikes before the tape had the chance to wear out.
