I'm commuting to work with this classic Japanese bike. But now im planning to buy my first bike for long travels, so wanted to get your thoughts on this gravel bike.

Also, would S size bike work fine for an XS size guy? The site suggests XS for 162-ish cm, but its out of stock.

It looks nice. As others have said, make sure the size and fit is appropriate for you.

The tires might be a bit too wide for long distance but that's easy to change.

You probably want a rack and a pannier. Make sure it's compatible.
