Interesting. These are my thoughts. Plus considering head tube angle, as I’m not a fan of the slack trend.

I like the look of your Forme. I’m not familiar with cross frames. What else is our there? Kinesis?

Ideally I want lightweight. Steep HTA. Clearance for 700x42/650x50. Can take a double.

I think most cross frames can take up to 700x40 these days. I was looking at the Kinesis, but also CAADX, trek crokett, probably many more..

I agree with steeper angles though, I always feel gravel bikes are a bit sluggish for my taste, very stable, but that is not always a good or fun thing

My Midnight Special has a 74° HTA with low trail, which I love riding. It’s a lot of fun off road. So I’m looking for a lightweight version of this frame. Considering custom in the future as everything else seems to be 72° high trail or less.
