11spd SRAM eTap TT group and additional blips are another £50 typically. Original price is probably pretty optimistic though...

Been doing some reasearch, and it seems the blipbox hiding issue can be solved. I was aware of these wireless blips, but didn't do much reading before: https://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Components/The_Low-Down_On_SRAM_s_99_Wireless_Blips_8220.html
$99 a pair, but they seemed rather unsuitable as bar end shifters (clearly not what they were intended for). Seemingly, you need a Blip Box to initially pair, but after that, it is not even necessary.
I was trying to think of how they could be better adapted for extensions, but it seems a wonderful person has already done it:

If I understand this right, this means that once you have paired them, you can leave the blipbox/primary shifters at home/give it back to the person you borrowed it from, and then you have truly wireless shifting from the bar ends?
