For anyone thinking of it, it's one of the few sportives you can do single-speed or fixed, 3 of us did it in '17, two fixed and one single-speed. I rode a TriCross fixed (44:16) with 38mm Compass tyres and a B17 which made it just about bearable - not something I'm intending to do again mind you.

Does anywhere know where I can buy a bunch of eleven speed quick links?
Buy a new chain in advance and use the quick link from that?
I recently bought a separate kmc link from eBay from ~£3.50 posted.I bought a pack of three from Amazon for about a fiver

Is the BB Italian threaded?

So thanks to Hermes' ineptitude, a lovely Chorus chainset and BB has dissappeared en route to me.
Anyone got anything else?

Dibs 600ax headset, pm on way

I've got one, it's a great bike, but I don't think the stays are carbon, just a wrap.
Someone on the Wanted forum was after one I think...

Thanks for such an informative reply, I thought it might be a bit fiddly but not this bad!
Interesting point about a 28h rim, I'd not thought of that but it makes sense.
I guess roundness is a challenge because of the large areas of unsupported rim in between the triplets but the hub exit angles are in conflict with a more even spacing to address this?
I use the Tange Falcons on all threaded builds now, SJS sells them cheaply. They’re alloy cartridge bearings and look like a poor man’s Chris King. Short stack height mind you so sometimes you have to take a couple of mm off the steerer or add a spacer.
