Thanks all, I'm going all in on the 'buy well buy once' logic.
@PhilDAS I hear you on the Paul stems, my one is just black (31.8/35mm) so one of the less in-your-face options, and I quite like all the machining personally. It might need changing anyway depending on the fit of the BLE, but it'll do as a starter for 10.
Jones-wise, it should arrive as a rolling chassis+finishing kit. The Hope V4 brakes from my Stooge will go onto it, and it'll be singlespeed too - gearing TBC once it arrives. I have a nice Boone Ti 20t cog in the parts box so that'll probably go on as a starter for 10. It'll also have my C17 carved up top too.
I understand the current lightest Starling build is c13.5kgs, so there's the line in the sand. Hoping to be a decent chunk under that by the end!
