I've placed an order with bike24.com which includes:
Shimano Tiagra brake levers:

Pricing the individual items (there was other stuff in the same order) hasn't been simple. I took advantage of the bike24.com price match policy and paid the lower prices listed by bike-components.de for the levers and the chain, along with a higher delivery charge. Then bike24.com invoiced me the wrong (full unmatched) price, and three days later I got a credit for the amount they had overcharged me - meaning two different exchange rates and two lots of bank charges. So you'll just have to trust me - I've done some serious calculator thrashing to divide the total final price between the items as realistically as possible, and as the individual delivery charges were so arbitrarily determined, I've not shown them seperately.
The good news is that all I need now is the outer shifter cable housing and a pair of handlebar grips. Eventually I'll also need a rear light, if I'm to venture out after dark.
I plan to sort the shifter cable at a local bike shop, but not until after the brake levers arrive, as they supposedly include brake cables but I don't know what colour they'll be.
Favourite grips are still ESI silicone MTB, which I'm expecting to cost £15.50 or thereabouts. I've yet to decide on the colour (eight to choose from!), but there's no rush to order these as I've already got something else that will tide me over.
Spent so far:
- frame (including £20.00 delivery) = £332.88
- crankset (including £6.00 delivery) = £126.00
- fork (including £10.00 delivery) = £63.50
- wheelset = £162.63
- brake calipers (including £5.00 delivery) = £18.83
- chainring = £46.53
- headset = £18.61
- shifter = £54.99
- handlebar = £25.37
- stem = £12.68
- bottles (pair) = £13.95
- bottle cages (including £2.99 delivery) = £76.00
- cassette = £143.01
- derailleur = £107.53
- cassette spacer = £0.99
- seatpost #2 (including £7.04 delivery) = £40.21
- Ti headset cap & bolt (including £0.70 delivery) = £4.02
- tyres (pair) = £71.98
- brake levers (including delivery charge) = £17.01
- chain (including delivery charge) = £37.15
Total = £1366.68
I've not included the tyre sealant yet - first I'm going to fit the tyres without sealant, and see what happens. And if I do later add sealant, I don't yet know how much will be needed - I'm hoping there will be some guidance printed on the can (I've got two cans coming, which cost £9.05 each including delivery).
Also not (yet) included are the tubeless valves, and the fiver I paid to have the headset pressed into place.
