Well, here it is, "finished". New stem, front bags and indexed shifter installed. Wheels now straight as arrows too. 
I leave for my ride to Croatia in a couple days, but unfortunately after adding this stem the Brooks saddle became horrible to sit on. I'm using this Charge Spoon for now but I'm going to order a WTB Volt to replace it which will hopefully be okay for the big ride. Not too worried about it being uncomfortable since I'll be in mainland Europe most of the time anyway. I also caved and bought the Orange seatpost clamp since I had to tighten the sh*t out of the chinese 31.8 one so much and the bolt head stripped.
Took it round some trails in Epping Forest the other day (without the racks) and it was so much fun, most fun I've ever had on a bike for sure. I think I want to aquire something with some suspension next!
