I'm running 25s at the moment purely because it's what I could get my hands on! I specced wide rims, so will be getting 28s when I get through these. In fact, I'm thinking of going up to 30s, as I tried the bike with 32mm tyres a few weeks ago out of curiousity & they fit with more than adequate room (on a 20mm internal width rim).
I'm torn on the internal routing. For neatness of build, it seems like a great idea, but for personal maintenance it seems like much more of a faff. That said, I don't trust myself to do hydraulic maintenance on my bike anyway. I do find the hose rattles a little on the downtube on some roads, still need to figure out something for dampening that a little.
Hope that helps! I'm still thoroughly enjoying this bike if that makes up your mind any more - it's fantastic :)

One of my first posts here in forever, but I've been eyeing a Volare 931 frame for a while for an almost identical build to yours. I keep having doubts and questions, as there aren't all that many of these around.. Main one being around tyre clearance, I see you run 25's, no space for 28's or just personal preference?
I've always been a bit bummed they didn't provide internal brake routing on the 931, while they do on the 853. It doesn't look too bad on the pictures you've shared but still a missed opportunity for an even cleaner bike imo.
