I'm starting to get impatient to get this built, even though I was supposed to take my time over collecting bits, so the budget may get stretched a bit.
I've got some 3T S bend extensions, a -20° 120mm stem and, most importantly, a travel kettle (obviously) from eBay. I just need to sort out clips a base bar and brake levers.
Ribble have the Zipp Vuka for £38 and CRC 3T Vola for £44 or I could get a Pro Synop from the classifieds, I should really just make a decision so I can stop constantly checking eBay/classsifieds - paranoid about missing a bargain after the Zipp setup on TT forum went so quickly the other day.
After a shard of glass ended my bunch on Saturday I messed about with position and I figure I want, at least as a starting point, my elbows about where the tops are and the base bar significantly lower for stability so I'm pretty set on something stackable. The best price I can find Vuka top mount clips is £65.
I keep swithering over 10 or 11 speed but I I've eventually decided just to go for a Tiagra 4600 rear mech. I can use the front Ultegra we've got unless the GF gets a team bike this year and we need it to build that up.
