This is a very wise post, IMHO and is why I am saying gravel bikes are a fad.
It is okay if you like something for its looks and want to go with the trend. But don't pretend it is a necessity because the bike industry suddenly found "the perfect bike".
1x11 geartrain is another thing you should have on the gravel bike!
Here is a nice bike. It is pretty nifty!
