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.

I would maybe suggest the Microshift Sword version of this bike you can then get better range (2x10). As of the quality and price it is really solid choice.

With sword you can mix MTB rear derailleur with it so quite nice part cross compatibility.

Not sure if it's only in our country but this gravel bike could be phasing out soon. I asked Decathlon and they said may not restock this and will move forward with a new product (no ETA).

It's already under different name in my country. You will find pretty much the same bike with Van Risel name. So don't worry they just renamed it.

Oh yeah, I saw that but they only have road bikes for now

Also you can maybe order the bike and get it after they stock it (I think decathlon offers it)
