@amey much appreciated for the suggestions, thought you might have some good ideas... Bar-wise they look great, although my stem is silver so would be nice if bars were silver too, just to be picky.
With hydraulic levers/shifters I'm reluctant to jump onboard just yet, feel like it's still too new and worth waiting. Interesting price-wise but will be buying everything second hand which should help.
Still undecided about about gearing apart from having a high range for hills/offroad etc. I'd thought mtb rear derailleurs are a better choice for large cassettes as opposed to long reach road ones and have no real preference for 10/11 other than 10 being cheaper and simpler. More reading required I think!
Cages sound lovely but pos too deep for my pockets for this one, but interested ;)
