Light, wide, cheap, service-ableIf you are sceptical about china carbon (you shouldn't be) I'd get a secondhand 3T or something and acetone/nail polish remover the graphics off.

Again acetone will get graphics off in few minsHandlebars: A very personal thing like saddles, depending on what you prefer but if you want to start short reach and shallow drop a good starting point is Deda RHM02 or 01. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/deda-rhm01-black-road-handlebar/
If you want to go loud i.e. not have plain black finishing kit I'd go Ritchey for matchy matchy. I am a fan of their classic range if silver works for you. The bars have same shape as their Neo Classics.
Pedals: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-essential-keo-compatible-road-pedals/ Lighter than Speedplay set up.
Do not try to save money on tyres. Get something decent like Vittoria Corsa G+ with a latex inner or butyl if you cant be arsed to pump them up before every ride.

First bike build. A Ritchey Road Logic. Going with a Shimano 105. I know I could spend ££££ if I wanted to (but I can't). I'd like to keep things reasonable but also have solid components that keep the weight down. Don't mind going with used components if anyone has any.
What do people recommend in terms of:
Particularly looking for anything that is out there that is particularly good value.
Cheers and thanks.
