Just finished my first ever build! I had some issues with a few little things but overall I am really happy with it. The rear brake needs to be adjusted and my handlebars aren't wrapped yet
Edit: I have attached a table with prices and weight if anyone is interested

The price of the frame seems MUCH lower than what I am able to find and your's even has a custom paintjob.
Could you share where/how you bought this?

I think coming from an MTB it'll actually feel more familiar than a typical compact race bike fit.
you'll need a shorter stem than what one would typically run b/c in those smaller sizes, your reach is like 30-40mm longer than a traditional road bike frame.

Okay, thanks a lot for the fast reply! So, what you are saying is basically that I could (for instance) go with a 60mm stem and then the fit would be okay'ish?
Would you be able to recommend another chinese frame with a better fit for a small guy like me? :)

Am considering building up one of these but am SO in doubt about sizing as this would be my first gravel bike.
Ride MTB normally.

Height: 167cm
Inseam: 76,5cm

Any insights on whether a size 49 would fit me? As far as I have understood, the toptube would be too far?

Thanks <3
Peter
