I am finding it impossible to buy a SHIMANO GRX 600 DOUBLE CHAINSET 11 speed 36/40 172.5.
Are there any more available alternatives that would do the job with an 11 40 rear an ultegra gs rear deralliuer
and whatever front deralliuer it needs, as i've still to buy a front.
Even Amazon is out of stock but they do have the Holy Grail, its from China.

I was reading about the Shimano factory being forced to close again in Malaysia due to covid

I noticed Ribble have extended their lead times by another 6 months to March/April now

GRX 810???

in stock

=======
An ultegra GS maxes out at 34T
tried my Ultregra RX mech with a 40T cassette once, didn't like it
Works fine with a 36T SRAM cassette

105 or Ultegra chainset with 46/30 Absolute Black chainrings could be done? Works well.

I've been looking at those. Just the price to consider!
