I think most "gravel" bikes are just road bikes with a tiny bit more clearance and one extra bottle cage.

You're right, I was joking. And you don't need any lower gear than 30(front)/34(rear) for carrying that extra bottle and bigger tyres.

just kidding, that's just like my opinion man

Edit: For my money @sensom 's Wolverine is maybe the best "gravel" bike of all time:

Importantly, more important than any of the component choices, he rides the shit out of it on real hardcore terrain (rather than arguing about ratios and definitions on the internet like me right now) and his write ups of the rides are pure art.

Have you actually ever seen a gravel road?
