Thanks for the comments, all!
@jakemcree - I have some heli-tape sitting around (and has been sitting for 10 years) so that's going to be my first try! If it fails, I'll have a look at Restrap, thanks for the tip!
@GideonPARANOID - I got mine direct from Sigeyi off their website, delivered by UPS. It was the carrier that was poor; failed to turn up, comms were rubbish. I'll let you know how the unit itself is, but it looks and feels decent, and fitting was really easy. The big advantage with these units is that they auto-calibrate when you pedal back. My Garmin Vector won't auto-calibrate, and won't calibrate without taking your feet out. This is a serious issue when doing long rides where the temps vary from morning/day/night - the power drifts way off, its just junk. The Sigeyi will recalibrate every time I freewheel, nice!
So, what's on the to-do list?
Chainstay protector. Heli-tape first, maybe Restrap second!!
Sort the Garmin mount (insert arriving in the post this week, I hope, needs insetting, more carbon work)
Retape the bars. I treated myself to some Supacaz Galaxy with red bits! Deee-luxe!
Shorten the rear mech outer cable now I've sorted the mech alignment.
Rebleed the brakes once they settle
Calibrate/back-to-back test the Sigeyi power meter (and post results)
Build a second set of wheels with 32mm tyres
Build the aerobar (mahoosive carbon project)
Mount some lights?
Put together a ride toolkit
Build some behind-seat storage. This could be another carbon project... I could integrate a rear light and a vestigial mudguard.
Add some bottle cages
