Can anyone recommend a mono rise cockpit that's cheaper than $1k? Something like the tririg alpha one? I have seen the hongfu avenger tm7 with a mono riser cockpit but I haven't seen real world reviews of that bike at the moment.

Sadly not, as you wouldn't see anything. Its entirely internally routed. Through the basebar and than through the back of the hole in the clamping area and through the stem

Thank you for the info. Since this will be my last resort (full hydraulic brakes) I don't want to mess it up. You routed the cables from the calipers to the base bars, correct? Or is it the other way around? I am assuming that these hydraulic brake cables are far softer than the jagwire pro brake kit cables (cable actuated) that I initially used.

I'm running the RideRever Trivia's and 2 pairs of blips. Works a-ok for me, no complaints really. Don't have a huge amount of time outdoors logged on them but they seem to do their job.
Will be doing Lanzarote IM on it in 6 weeks time so they will really get put through their paces their.

Can you post photos of how you routed the hydraulic brake cables? My set of riderever triva brakes is still on its way from Japan and I am currently using cable-actuated brakes. And it is not a good experience so far. I have changed the cables twice and the braking power is still not satisfactory. I have routed the brake cables through the top holes of the stem and brought them inside the stock base bar holes on the lower side. It looks ugly and not so aerodynamic. These cable-actuated cables seem to be so hard to bend and go through the stem as hidden/internal routed cables. I am running 1x sram force with wireless blips so the only cables I have are the brake cables.

I just went to a bike shop near me today. The mechanic managed to fit the SRAM DUB T47 road bb.

Can someone advice on the bottom brackets they used? Almost all parts for my build are ready except the bottom bracket because I cannot find a SRAM DUB bb for the TT-023 frame shell width of 86.5mm. I am running a SRAM Force AXS 1x setup with 165mm DUB Force D2 crankset and Red 1x 50T. Will the SRAM DUB Road T47 bb do the job or I need the Road Wide version? Thanks.
