the cost of the original equipment that is supplied with the bike would only add up to £15 at best. So if it makes you happy, you can knock it down to £770...
having worked in the bike industry for a number of years i can safely say that the upgrades here far out weigh what was on the bike originally; the fact that I have everything that originally came with the bike apart from the saddle (as it was marked and damaged) - it does in fact come complete, plus the original parts (not that they would be wanted - the bar tape I can give is still sealed too.) The bike also did not come with any other pedals other than these, as the ones I purchased to put on the bike are the ones noted - The company did not provide the originals as spares. (rubbish, budget, rough, plastic, open ball bearing pedals).
I am not trying to con anyone here - I have said £500 o.n.o - I am not selling this bike for £785 (oh sorry... £770) - which is the price you seem to be fixated on. It is new with all the extras - good luck finding one for this money in better shape.
I am great friends with the shop too - and they are super helpful (not much to go wrong on a bike like this anyway.)
If there is anyone who is actually interested.... then please let me know.
Cheers!
