@mcneese.chad @Bones resurrecting this thread for a more in-depth discussion on gravel bike geometry. Reference the Titanium Builds thread.
For others that want to join, it seems like the three of us prefer more road bike geometry for gravel riding, but I have very limited experience on dirt, only taking my endurance road bike off-road a handful of times. While I’m trying to convince the wife on N+1, I’ve been looking at the Lauf Seigla, Canyon Grizl, Giant Revolt, and Fezzari Shafer extensively. These all have fairly different geometries, none of which are close to my Fezzari Empire. Other gravel bikes are very close but tend to be way outside my price range (eg Alchemy Lycos).
