Modern, sorry, but... I'm putting a winter road/commuter/summer gravel bike together out of some parts/frame I have spare. Looking for a number of parts to finish it off now if I can get hold of the remaining bits cheap enough.

In order of priority:

A lighter set of wheels than the 1.85kg ones I have. Disc brake, QR compatible (100/135mm). I'll be using them with 30-35mm tyres, so something CX-ish I guess.

Drivetrain parts. Most now sorted, but still looking for a 10-speed 11-34 ideally XT level cassette, plus a chain.

SRAM Force or Red Road STIs
, 10 or 11 speed - now sorted!

A carbon drop bar, 42cm or so - now sorted!

Cheers :cool:

Hiya,
What's your budget for components? I have a full 1x SRAM set up for sale? Looking at £250 posted? Just needs rotors.

Ah, this might have done the trick... only I'm on an MTB frame so the brakes need to IS mount compatible (from memory there's not an easy/cheap way to adapt flat mount to fit, but I'm willing to be corrected on that). Plus I've actually got a spare set of cable-actuated hydraulic calipers that I'm happy enough using, so cable brakes are probably going to be more straightforward for me I guess.
 
I've got a 105 50/34 no BB, not a huge amount of wear but some minor rubbing and a few marks, threads all good.

Overdue an update, sorry! Thanks very much to those who have replied. That 105 cassette looks a bargain in particular but I was really looking for something a little lower geared for gravel use, and I've now managed to put together an XT crankset with a 32/48 configuration. I've sourced a few bits from here and elsewhere and will update the first post, all that's left is a 10-speed SLX/XT level 11-34 cassette, plus a chain.
 
The cassette needs to be 34t minimum unfortunately. But I've just bagged a bargain HG500 from CRC for £15, was hoping for a higher end model but can't complain with a brand new one at that price.

The current wheels I have are 1.85kg and they're ok, though I'd still like something a few hundred grams lighter if possible.
