Thanks @gabes I think MTB is the way I'm going, I've bought a second hand Salsa El Mariarchi and going to play with gearing. SS risks killing my knees and Harry Rowland has warned me off IGH.
So 1 x 11, a short cage RD looks to be the way forward and di2 means that there should be no mud fouling cable issues.
Because Im shallow and they look cool as fuck Im putting a Jeff Jones H bar on. Saddle will be a leather brooks for the same reason. My arse is tough as iron now so not worried about saddle issues, also tempted to not wear padded shorts as I think having a dirty sponge next to my arse will cause more problems than solve.
