Depends what you mean by 'gravel'. IME most of UK off-road rides usually involve some amount of trails where that's not an appropriate tyre size. But then again usually also sections where it's entirely excessive

This is the issue. I'd rather ride a 'road bike' on gravel than a gravel bike on the road.

I mean actual gravel. The stuff that started the gravel grinding scene in the USA. The strade bianche of Tuscany. The pistes DFCI and some Voies Vertes in France. Swedish sportgrus.
I understand there's little if any of that stuff in the UK, but if trail riding or being knee deep in mud on a bridleway is your thing, maybe you'd be better off with a MTB anyway or one of those so-called adventure bikes.
For all the stuff I have mentioned that Standert will be much better suited, and is much more of a gravel bike than a lot of the 2.00" tyre'd bikes featured on the thread.

38mm tyres not big enough for gravel anymore? Seriously?
