The 58 is huge though, do you need the extra toe clearance?

No, my toes are luckily not that long.  ;D I calculated that with >620mm of BB to front axle I should be on the save side. Size 56 is actually perfect regarding body position (apart from the seatpost). My next concern is that I would like to fit my full frame bag into the triangle which would need min 45cm of vertical space. Too bad that many frames are having lower top tubes now.

Nice, I tried to get them to do measurements with no luck. Yeah maybe the best option is to go for a nominally smaller tire with the really wide rim :D.
They didn't answer your question? I actually asked two different contacts, because the first answer got stuck in my spam folder. The first answer was 60mm in fact. But this sounded a bit unrealistic for a 45mm frame set.
Yes, I think with such a big inner width tires might blow up to the next tire with. The 44mm Tufo could increase it's width by 3mm already. But I would wait until the frame is in your hands to measure the real clearance.

I'd rather buy the right size bike and a new frame bag ;D

Nope. I asked for seatstay, chainstay and fork clearance measurements and the reply was

"Hi XXX

Thanks for your inquiry .
GRAR0 need to buy on www.icancycling.com

Thanks . "

I don't think they really understood the question honestly. Wrt tires, yeah I'll wait and see.

I went for the Pearl White.

I also asked Perry if they could customize the forks to remove the bolt holes on the forks which they will do but it adds 30 days to the delivery date which gives a lead time of 80 days.

Hopefully that means a delivery date of the end of July which works very well for me and gives me time to get it ready for cross and maybe a September gravel race.

Nice, the Pearl White looks really good.

I asked the exact same question to Perry and he said no  ::). In the dark green it's not a big deal so I'm not willing to wait another month for it anyway. The lighter colors look a lot nicer without the holes I think.

They're going to fill in the bolt holes and the hole under the forks which should help come the cross season. Hopefully it wont take that much longer to do

Oz cycle have done a review of the frame on youtube

Looking at this frame in a 58cm and would build it up with a sram groupset. For a 1x, would a 46t chainring fit ? Sram does have their dub road wide crankset but don't know if that will be necessary.

UPDATE:
Ordered a 58 in celeste colorway
Asked some questions, got some answers from person named Perry:
-asked for fork with no holes, was no problem
-Max 1x chainring is 42t 
-BB is the t47 85.5
-for 1x is there a fully closed cover for front derrailleur cable hole -> no
