question: is the frame GR201 you can find on tan tan the same as the one from tideace GV201?

Yes

Re: First bike build, Carbonda CFR 505 SL 505 SL does seem like the right frame for that tire choice, I assume you're going for an "all-road" type bike?  Road tire size with a bit of knob for off-road, but not off-road enough to need a true gravel tire?  Do you ever see yourself wanting a full width gravel tire in the 40-50mm range, which would then push you to a true gravel bike, like a CFR707?  Just sparking some discussion in case anyone else has frame suggestions.

1. What's your goal of the bike?  The Rose and 505 in your comparison have nearly the same stack, and 505 has 14mm longer reach.  So if you ran a 10mm shorter stem on the 505, or pushed the saddle forward a bit, it'd feel nearly identical.  Which sparks the question, do you want it to feel the same?  You say you want more sportiv, do you want a more aero position, so lower stack? 

2. I chose the integrated handlebar with my CFR707, but I'm switching to a separate bar/stem.  You can mostly hide the cables with an FSA/ACR stem, or heavier knock-off version on Aliexpress.  I want to dial in my fit with a handlebar narrower than I could find in integrated, so that drives a separate bar/stem.  Plus integrated bars have handlebar angle fixed.  If it works for you, then the integrated bar is awesome.  But if it doesn't, there's nothing you can do about it.
