I gave up trying to find all the triple-specific Record components individually, as complete groups didn't exist. And like you say, ignoring the prices! In the end I had to buy another bike to harvest the parts. The front mech is a triple-specific version and the rear is a long-reach (RD4-REXL). More info here.
I'm coming from Shimano and was easy to set-up, hardest part is trying to remember you have a granny gear should/when you need it for fully loaded inclines.
Lovely bike, GLWS, and that Record triple stuff is hella spendy these days so seems a very good deal.
Can I ask what front mech you have for running a triple? Is it a dedicated triple one or is there enough throw on a regular double FD to work? And is it more finicky to set up a triple than a double or was it as easy to set up?
