I'm wondering about how long brake hoses I need for my build. Anyone remember the length of their brake hoses? I'm thinking about size S or XS for reference.

For my Large build, I needed 1000/1700mm length as the standard length was too short. You might be able to get away with standard length for a X or XS.

For a 180cm tall person, with a usual saddle height of 77-78 cm, would you suggest a M or a L?
I'm kinda looking for the unreachable combo short reach+tall stack
(My current road bike ha almost the same geometry as the size M, I'd need a slightly taller stack but then I'm concerned about the longer reach)

I slapped 32c semi-slicks on a 2nd wheelset and put them on my G056/RF25 frame. In this configuration, it makes for a nimble all-arounder/commuter type bike with a 38t + 9-46t cassette. I did try some really skinny road tires, but they looked funny. 32c tires are probably as narrow as I'd go on this frame!

Those brands should engage you as a photographer for their products. Looks really good and the photos make it stand out. This frame looks really tempting for a gravel build. I've looked into the G068 and the GR201 but both are really stretched out. This one seems to be better for someone with longer legs, shorter torso and not the best flexibility.

Thanks! I just shoot the bikes in my backyard against an old fence! The RF25/G056 is a really slack frame. I can ride this setup all day and not feel fatigued. In fact I had to get a longer stem because I was too upright. It really excels in climbing. I had some people think it was a MTB frame converted for gravel. Though if I could change one thing, I wish it had UDH just for the added flexibility and future proofing. Everything else works great.
