@frankenbike @madman - Thanks for the input!

I really want this to be a bike I can use all the time and not have to worry about broken shit... so your advice is really appreciated before I take it any further!

I should have said the exact bits I have so far... (i am intending on running it 9 speed!)

SRAM PG950 9 Speed Cassette 11-32 Silver
SRAM PC951 9spd Chain (114 Links) 9 Speed Grey
SRAM X5 8-9 Speed Rear Derailleur Long Cage Black
SRAM S600 Chainset - 8 or 9 Speed) 42-32-22T 175mm

Are there any 9spd SRAM brifters that would just work with this straight up - and would the TT500 shifters work cleanly without the need for converters too?

I do quite like the idea of using one SRAM trigger shifter and one bar end shifter - or is this just really stupid?!

I don't think there's a drop-bar or bar-end shifter that works with SRAM 9-speed MTB derailleurs so I think you'd need a trigger shifter for the rear for definite.

The TT500 definitely won't work on the rear as it's 10-speed and the pull ratio is different. No idea about the front one though...
