Need your advice..

There is all types and styles of Hybrids, not a one fit all bike. But here is one I have been building for a fast light city bike. Nothing on the bike is factory, except the frame and fork. Here is a list of the components.

Brakeset Shimano New 105, caliper brakes brakes, Tektro Eclipse, carbon lever levers
Shift Levers Shimano R-770-10, Rapidfire
Front Derailleur Shimano FD-R770 Ultegra for flat H/B's
Rear Derailleur Shimano New Ultegra, 10-speed, short cage
Crankset FSA SL-K, hollow carbon 2-piece, five arm, super high modulus carbon, 50Ax36A teeth
Pedals Platform
Bottom Bracket FSA Mega EXO
BB Shell Width Unspecified
Rear Cogs 10-speed, 12 - 27 teeth
Chain Shimano CN-6600
Seatpost Specialized Alloy Suspesion
Saddle Body Geometry Avatar, microfiber, hollow Cr-Mo rails
Handlebar Specialized, carbon, 580mm width, 3 ply weave

Wheels
Hubs Front: Shimano R600, Shimano QR, Rear: Shimano R600, aluminum freehub body, Shimano QR
Rims Shimano R600, 16-hole/20-hole

Weight Unspecified
Size 56cm
Colors Brushed/Black


TIG-welded
Frame Tubing Material Specialized A1 aluminum
Fork Brand & Model Specialized C-2
Fork Material Carbon fiber composite w/aluminum steerer, unicrown crown

I'm pretty happy with the components, and finally feel like the bike is dialed in for me.

What I wanted to know from you guys, is what extras should I put on it ? But I do not want to weight the bike down to much, or it would defeat the whole purpose. Bike weighs 20.2 as it sits in the pictures below. I would like an awesome super bright rear blinky, bright front head lamp, water bottle holder, and probably an under saddle tool kit. Co2 , tire levers, extra tube, all in one bike tool, etc.... And also what I might do to ( bling the bike up ) so to speak. Any ideas on the brand of accessories, color, etc..




I'm pretty content with the overall bike as it sits, but any new ideas would be great. Adding the accessories is starting to be a challenge, there are so many to choose from. I can spend a decent amount on them, just want light weight, nice looking, and to work good.

Thanks in advance, really want the team to help me with ideas to complete it.
