There will be a couple of unusual features on the build compared to a normal road bike. I was going to run a set of Funn Gwide 500 bars. I tried them on it and while they felt great across the hoods (500mm) across the drop which are getting over 600mm they felt too wide. I will save these for the gravel build and on this bike I will probably run a set of woodchippers. Unless I'm on the track I only run some form of flared drop now.
I want it 9 or 10 speed because I'm going to run it 1 x with a 44t front ring and one of the cheap aliexpress 11/42 rear cassettes with an older 9 speed Shimano MTB mech. This is the peasants GRX/Apex groupset. I have a choice of Ultegra 10 speed brake/shifters or I can run a bar end 9 speed shifter I have with fixed levers. This I am still yet to decide on.
