Remember 10% off at CRC with British Cycling membership (should be able to PM you a code if you decide to go for it)

You could get SRAM GX Eagle for about the same price... sell on the cranks and swap for some 165mm. 12 gear goodness!

Same kit with 165mm cranks is less than that trade on madison at the moment. Usually chain reaction sells stuff for basically trade for everyone else so got could probably get your LBS to get the kit in for a similar price and make them happy.

Cheers everyone for the advice, I just need to grow my legs a bit, problem solved.
On a serious level, is this groupset from CRC any good price wise? It's fair bit cheaper than on Bike 24... (Obvs could still fine tune the parts, just randomly selected the parts for now...)
Alternatively, I could just get Ted to get everything RRP if it's too much hassle. Then he'll throw in the build for free, that's a couple of hundreds saving there... Just thinking if he has good relationships with his suppliers than he might be able to chop and change his order for me more than I can shopping around... it's time vs money...
I am not keen on DIY convention at this moment as I am still fairly within budget with my build (the F+F is suprisingly chepaer than we thought) and I have been saving for a long time to get my ultimate bespoked bike, it is a bit of a vanity project if I am being absolutely honest. That says I am not going to start having overly excessive parts just because...
