The bit at the beginning (i didnt get that far in) where he was basically just saying "it's just a bike, call it a bike' I agree with well enough. But surely the machines marketed as gravel bikes are really just practical road bikes that suit normal people's purposes. Comfortable, fine to ride down a towpath/farm road, options with more nimble geometry if you want it, etc. All the reasons that anytime someone who isn't really a cyclist round my way (Sussex) asked advice on a road bike, I tell them to buy a Croix De Fer.
