Taking the plunge, have picked up some used Spyres along with some ultegra shifters and mechs (modernising to 11speed)! Will get some good pads and some compressionless cables
Biggest question mark is still front or back rack. The key for me is being able to stick my backpack on whatever I get. Any front rack recommendations that would allow this?
Wouldn't you be better off with something like a Carradice with a SQR block? Ideal for commuting IMHO. If I were to strap a backpack though I would prefer to keep an eye on it. The Basil Portland rack has sides and is great for that purpose.

I've been convinced by a friend that dyanmos are the way to go, ordering these:
