if the 9 speed stuff is available I've got no preference really just that in an ideal world the shifter wouldn't have the cable exiting the shifter at a right angle, not a fan.
Yeah as time goes on I realise I don't like buying whole new things, I like projects and bodges, hence the crankset on this being a 165mm track crank with a narrow wide on it! If I decide to go hydro discs on to another frame, I think that is how I'd do it, gradually add the front end to this and then upgrade the frame and rear as and when

you could go 1x9 and then mate any shimano 9 speed bit to any other bit - my cx pro has this...
i currently run 9 speed 34T on the back on an XTR 9 speed rear mech and 9 speed mtb shifter on the flat bar, but when i want to move to drops, i just put in a 9 speed shifter. up front is an ultegra crank on a 42T i think it was.
mines disc (cx pro, not sure of year) but for you - as the other "hand" is for braking only.... you could go disc fork and run 1 hydro brake up front....
