Accessory advice

Ok so now I have my lubberly Trek Top Fuel 8 I'm looking for the following:

Lock (something light but indestructible)
Pedals (Evans DMR V12s at £48) cba with clipless.
Saddle (the one that comes with the bike doesn't have a groove baby)
Lights (thought about a Smart Polaris 3LED+7LED rear set with a 5LED front in addition).
Wireless cycling computer (though i see there's another thread about this already, might go for the trek 9i wireless).
Mud Guards

Since I got the bike from Evans they are offering me a 20% discount on everything I buy (hence the low V12 price).

Any thoughts?

Mudguards : Crudcatcher Race Pack £20.
Saddle: Charge Spoon £20 (wiggle out of stock til Oct) or they do a WTB laser V for £14.
Lights : I have a Blackburn F&R set £20 off ebay. (4 led f and 7 led r)
Pedals : Shimano 520s for £20ish (wiggle I think or CRC)

supersonic

Pedals I would look at the Wellgo MG1, lighter than the V12, same bearings, half the price on ebay.

What are the blackborns like? I've started a new lights thread elsewhere so you might want to post there (missed this comment, doh!).

They are on the way. Thanks for that. Spent a day or two deciding that I wanted flats rather than SPDs, but since one of my mates broke his wrist and another her ankle on them it was more or less a foregone conclusion.

these shimano mx30 flat pedals are great with 5-10 shoes,

they come with short and long pins though i've not needed the long pins yet, i've done nearly 600 miles on them and they still feel new

Hmm think supersonic hit it on the head. The wellgo MG1s are super light.
