Re: Road-Gravel-Bikepacking-Bike I built (okay, I still need to bleed the brakes and put in sealant but it's 95% complete) a 696 for the same purpose and also had the idea to use Lighterpack. Here's my build for inspiration. Note that weight might be ~200g off because I got too impatient and installed the components before weighing them like the tires so I'm using the retail weight.
Hope it inspires you. Also note that I took a very expensive custom paint. Yours might be a lot less.

My 2cts about the wheel questions:
Centerlock 1000%. Fuck 6bolt. And get the HG tool lock, not BB lock
The hub depends on the cassette you will get, not the groupset. You can get microspline or XD cassettes to run with LTWOO, it's up to you. It just needs to be compatible with the cassette.
I sourced both of my wheelsets on the used market, I'm happy about both and might upgrade to carbon later. Anything with DTSwiss 350 hubs is good imo. I also considered Carbonda wheels but I changed my mind when I was told shipping the wheels would be extra.

Also my opinion, as much as I'm excited for LTWOO hydraulic unless you find them at MSRP I wouldn't bother. I bought my GRX groupset before it was anounced but I don't regret it. There's a good chance you can find GRX new (mine was stripped from a new bike) for about the same price as LTWOO if not cheaper.

Re: Experience with Tsunami GR02 Frameset Are you sure it's a crack? Looks like drips in the paint. Can you see movement there when flexing the frame?

I'm looking forward to seeing the reply from the seller, since this frame is quite often recommended here.

Re: Experience with Tsunami GR02 Frameset I'm no weld expert, but it just looks like they over welded the BB joints and did a somewhat sloppy job. Ride it a bit and see if it gets worst, if not it should be fine.

I'd also post on the thread about the GR02 in the Metal Frame sub-forum. Ask other owners of the frame to inspect their BB just to see how their welds look in comparison to your frame.

Re: Experience with Tsunami GR02 Frameset That’s almost definitely not a crack.
