Litespeed Watia

[tcbc]

I am considering getting a Litespeed Watia gravel bike. Does anyone have first-hand experience that you can share? Both the bike and/or the ordering process.

I'm a little concerned about toe overlap (which is the primary complaint from the cyclingtips review), which I'd like to avoid for dirt riding. I'll probably be looking at the M/L size.

I'm inclined to get it with GRX 2x mechanical drivetrain. Would I regret not getting Di2 or etap? I prefer not dealing with more batteries/charging, but I am curious about the performance and comfort aspect of electronic shifting.
