Some part updates:
I ended up buying a Bitex RAR12 rear hub. Just dropped it off at Martin / Arkane Wheelworks along with the rims and the dynamo hub. He said he might be able to build them already in the next few days.
For the finishing kit I went with the Nitto Gravel M137SSB and a Planet X Holdsworth Grand Sport seatpost. The bars are 45cm in the hoods and 52cm in the drops which is very similar to what I have on my gravel bike and I am very comfortable with them.
Interestingly enough I almost bough the Velo Orange Grand Cru Long Setback seatpost but went with the Holdsworth to save some money. Now that it is here I realised they are identical besides the engraved logo. So I saved £20 here. Yay me!
While on Planet X I also picked up one of the little Nitto front rack light holders for a fiver.
And finally there is a BLB Mini Front Rack my mom got me for christmas.
Slowly getting really excited to put all of this together. Main missing components are shifters and cranks now.
