Appreciate all the contributions. I am going to base the set-up fairly closely on the bike i am running at the moment, and i think it would make sense to have the chainring positioning lined up with the gear i am using most so that the least strain possible is put on the chain. I will definately hold off on chain-guards etc until i have decided whether or not they are really needed. Around London a 1x10 is going to suit me down to the ground, if i get it set up right, as it will cover me for everything i encounter day to day. Got some Criterium bars so will see how the Ergos sit before i go fitting it all.
