Just built up my G2 Max with GRX 815 Di2 groupset that was somewhat on discount. I had a Carbonda CFR696 2x10 GRX mechanical and the geometry is very similiar. I wanted to build an all arounder bike that I wasn't afraid to get scuffs and scrapes on compared to my CFR696. I currently ride 70/30 road/gravel so I wanted to stay with 2x for now. Build was very straight forward, nothing surprising or difficult. I was first looking at going 1x13 with Wheeltop GEX but decided to change it. Right now there are a lot of great electronic groupset options: I found 105 R7170 Di2 2x12 for $865 before import/shipping fees from merlin cycles, 105 R7170 2x12 Di2 for $950 + shipping from aliexpress, GRX 825 Di2 2x12 for ~$1200, SRAM AXS 2x12 D1 for ~$1050. It seems like the 7170 is a great price to performance in my opinon but I wanted more gravel range. I got the frame for a great price which included shipping which took about 6 weeks to get to the U.S with no import fees.
Bare frame weight: 1808 grams
Uncut fork weight: 458 grams
total weight including computer mount, bottle cages, peddles, No saddle bag: about 20.5 lbs
My current tires measured 46mm on these rims, the front fork tire clearance measured 75mm for it's clearance across and the rear was about 58mm across.
