Thanks for the response, some interesting points to dwell on.
Currently riding fixed thus the need for a new bike for this trip. I will be getting it though cycle to work scheme so second hand is off the table. I guess I don't really like the look of Audax/touring bikes and prefer something fast. As the trip is only one week whereas I'll have the bike for the next few years I might investigate the seatpost bag idea a little further - although it might look a little ridiculous.
