Hi, your parts look very nice (to be honest, the bars look a bit crazy). I can imagine there are many people who want a more classic trial geometry and an option to change the gear ratio quick out there. Street trial bikes are actual a little bit too short in my opinion, especially if you want to ride in nature. How did you manage the rim brake? Always thought no other company does it this way, because Hoffmann Bikes patented it.

The nearest club is Stadtlohn http://www.trial-club.de/ with a distance from around 70km. An alternative would be looking for a motorcycle trials club or finding other riders who ride alone on facebook. I know there are clubs and riders in the Netherlands but I have no contact.

I’ve made the experience, that the hope mountain bike brakes (e4) feel not as strong as the trial zone, mt5 or shimano xt.

I think in this case it would be better to buy a new flow (which has nearly the same geo as the old fourplay) or another bike and you still have money left for an upgrade for the brakes if you like (the standard mechanical rim brakes should be powerful enough).
When I see a new fork and stickers on the frame, it’s an alarm sign for me that the bike had had hard trials sessions in the past. Check always how the frame looks from below. There are no words in which conditions the rims / wheels are and 480 Euro for xt brakes and 150 Euro for tires sounds way too much.
