My Kinesis Tripster went from TABR setup to Badlands setup by changing tyres to 700x50, using a 42T instead of a 36T cassette and sticking flat pedals on. Only position change was slight saddle height adjustment to deal with going from Speedplay to flat shoes.
Since its proper 'gravel conversion' it now has 650x50 tyres, 44cm instead of 38cm bars and the stem is 20mm shorter (to compensate for the wider bars). It currently has Speedplays on it so the saddle height is back to road setup.
