That's super useful, thanks a lot. So this set would have the adapters I need?
https://epicbleedsolutions.com/products/universal-bleed-kit?variant=30375397523530When you say arm is adjusted out when bleeding, do you mean the adjustble knob is screwed all the way out, so arm is closest to caliper body, ie. you bleed with it in this position?

Question on juintech R1s:
A used pair, I've never used hydro or semi-hydro before so all new to me. Have fitted new pads, gone through the process to set up as per manual. Cabling is all fine. When pulling the levers, or closing the caliper by hand to test, the pistons dont move the pads nearly close enough to bite on the rotors. Only a little bit of movement inwards, right at the end of the caliper travel, when the actuated arm kob is adjusted all the way out. Have tested with actuated arm at all postitions, no change.
I know these are mineral oil and aren't designed to need bleeding etc., or is there some fiddling with the bleed screw to be done? Or am I just missing something?

Nice.
On the recent theme of police escapades, there is an interesting story in the last of the comments of this article about the carvings: https://blackcablondon.net/2015/02/26/cabbies-curios-the-policemens-wall/. More policemen added their initials and numbers to the wall in the 70s during a 9 day siege of a flat on mydletton passage, where Stuart Brickell had barricaded himself in with a machete and gas bombs to resist eviction -

Trek Multitrack 750 - these are great true temper steel frames that make pretty good gravel / functional / touring conversions, and clear 700 x 45c+
Obviously needs some cleaning up but a nice little deal for £45, in Ealing

I use a super c + bagman on the back of one bike, and then on a front porteur rack on the other. I did experiment with more inventive ways like you've linked, but to be honest I've found it works best just strapped down on the rack with 2 cam buckle straps or similar
Super c and audax bags are definitely both very easy with shoulder strap for commuting etc, I clip one onto the d buckles on the top and tuck it under the lid when riding
