Offered to go halves with @umop3pisdn on some 3T levers, failing which I'll get the SRAM 500
If I didn't have the integrated 3T levers, I'd buy SRAM and live with the possibility that they might add 0.000001m² to my CdA in exchange for a much nicer feel.

Bar humbug.
After some thought, I've decided to go for a complete Zipp Vuka set-up.
Hong-fu are the most expensive at £160 (latest gig has finished three weeks early, next work...) and delivery from the Far East is a consideration: I need to get this on the road ASAP.
I like a Tester-tick as much as the next man, but adding the extensions I would want to the 3T will add +/- £30 and I'm not keen on the upturned base bar handles (seen mention that they are a bit short for big hands too).
Fudges have Vuka base bars for £41 and Ribble have top-mount clips with Race extensions for £94.
Short of compelling alternatives or better prices, I'll order tomorrow.

New bearings for the Record UT in the offing; already have a Record HS, 56t ring and an inline post.
Still on the look out for an Adamo/SMP (but can make do in the short-term) and a 600/DA AX (but not sure if that will work with the forks).
Will have to "make do and mend" with a pair of Archetypes on Novatec in the short/medium term.
Fingers crossed, this twenty will be the first outing...
