Just an quick Update on this one:
I decided to wait for the anniversary sale on AliExpress next Monday, to see if I can get some bargains. I found RideRever Triva hydraulics levers for cheap (160$ including shipping) from a private seller in france. The parcel is on it's way and I hope everything will be fine.
I will give a full update next Monday / Tuesday on the parts and price after I ordered everything.
Stay tuned and have a great week.  :)

Is it possible to have the contact details of the private seller? If by private seller you mean private individual I'm disgusted :( because I'm looking to acquire these brakes (Riderever Triva) that I found on Ebay but the seller doesn't ship to France and I don't have any contact in England (seller's location) to make a transfer to me.

Sorry guys, I dropped the ball on this thread…

Just to sum up quickly: everything went well with my build. I had no major issues. All the parts fit well (I got lucky). The quality of the frame is good. The paint job isn’t perfect and has some minor inclusions and imperfections.

I’ve already done around 1,200 km outdoors on the bike and completed my first triathlon / full Ironman last Sunday. Super happy with the build!

I still haven’t taken any proper pictures of my bike… I guess I enjoy riding it more. The pictures I do have are from the end of May / June when I finished the build. I’ll take some new ones and upload them over the weekend.

Feel free to ask me anything about the build.

Yeah sorry, was a private individual who sold only one pair.

Im usually not a fan of colored brake rotors, but those rotors and wheel decals suit that bike perfectly!

I have a question regarding the Riderever triva brakes. I've found a pair second hand, but without the hoses. What olive and barb do they use?
