I'm planning to buy r8170 mini group-set.

What's your experience ordering from aliexpress (anrancee store) or from anrancee website? Did you end up paying extra fees upon receiving the order?

I'm concerned that Canadian customs will flag/hold the order that contains a lithium battery and potentially will re-evaluate the total value of items. Should I be worried about it and if so, should I just buy a shifters+brakes+ derailleurs kit instead?

Secondly, what's the cheapest way between aliexpress and anrancee website?
Aliexpress will have 11.11 sale in 3 days with $90 off ($226 off limited coupon) and potential rakuten cashback.
So, is it worth to buy from aliexpress during the sale over anrancee directly?
Not immediately related but I bought ultegra recently (2days ago) directly from their whatsapp contact. When I asked the seller, they stated it shouldnt have additional duties/taxes to Canada but we'll see soon.

Will update once I receive it.

God damn those risers bars are ugly, spacers make it even worse.

Much like the winspace hyper 2.0's, these type of riser bar designs are an eye sore

Yes, that's right with Shipping and the custom finish added an extra $100 USD. The geometry is effectively identical to my SL8 and SL9 and well I wanted the finish I requested so they better di a good job!. The only real difference is that I'm going with a riser bar

I originally planned to get the HUDUD, but I got fed up waiting for all the back and forth over spacer questions although I did want the UD Gloss finish, but its not the end of the world!,  and I'm not the most patient person. In the end I ordered a set of Tavelo Rise bars in 380 × 120 mm.

On my SL9 I currently run a flat bar setup with an 18 mm spacer stack. The THM bars I'm using now have a 6° rise, whereas the Tavelo bars use a 10° rise. Once you factor in the head tube angle, I should only need the cone spacer and the single 10 mm spacer under the bars to achieve my position and the Tavelo also gives me a cleaner front-end setup with fewer spacers while keeping the same fit.

Looking forward to this build with your custom paint request  :o and review.

I'd likely mimic the same build with a tavelo riser, but im still on the fence till more people share experiences with it.
