It's shows over 100$ from this link.

I've just paid 50$ from this link
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvLv3SE

And what's strange now when I got to the store I've bought from it shows me the price 87$. AliExpress is doing some strange stuff, wonder how to always get the best price like I just did ...
It's probably their 'early bird' feature where you'll get a huge discount (like 50% off), but it's only for the first 1-3 buyers of a product.

VB told me import duties for EU are included if I choose the XDB shipping.

Can you fit 28.6mm stems/cockpits or only 31.8mm?
And any other infos about their cockpit? Reach, Flare, etc.

This will be my first gravel frameset, and I’m still figuring out the right size - especially the stem length.
On my road bike, I usually run a 120–130mm stem. I know shorter stems are common for gravel, but I’m unsure, since I also want to use this as a winter all-road bike.
The geometry is fairly aggressive, so to match my road bike reach, I’d need either a size L with a 90mm stem or a size M with a 100–110mm stem.
Ridley’s configurator recommends size L (185cm, 88cm inseam), but I’m worried I won’t like the handling of a 90mm stem for road use. What are your thoughts regarding transferring road fit to gravel?

Both seatpost and steerer tube sizes are proprietary, right?

Exactly! All these shops seems to be using the same photos. When asking for instock items, it's probably best to request at least one picture with a handwritten timestamp (or ask them to hold a household item or something else). You can also check for exif metadata (gps data, timestamps, etc.).

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the v2 frame. The BB definitely looks like the V1 I ordered. One small difference I see from the picture is the Black handlebar bolts. I believe the V1 handlebar has one black and one titanium bolts. The picture you share has two titanium bolts. Maybe the real V2 uses 2 titanium bolts.
That's clearly not a black inc handlebar (neither old or new aero). Maybe the Avian Falcon?
