I’m commuting to work with this classic Japanese bike. But now im planning to buy my first bike for long travels, so wanted to get your thoughts on this gravel bike.

Also, would S size bike work fine for an XS size guy? The site suggests XS for 162-ish cm, but its out of stock.

    If you’re looking at long distance, you probably don’t want to oversize your frame, because that’ll stretch you out more into a less vertical position, which is not going to be as comfortable for long distance.

        More specifically, I would get measured at a bike shop. If you have longer/shorter legs/torso than usual, it’s absolutely easier to just see what feels best
