Seems like a good place to ask this - I'm planning to retire my trusty old Pompetamine commuting / utility bike and replace it with something geared, that will take mudguards and pannier rack, but will also double up if those are removed (and wheels / tyres switched) as a gravel bike for the occasional time that takes my fancy.
I am after not too pricey, metal frame, 1x set-up, and quite a roadie type position, so not too short / upright front-end. Initial thoughts are Tripster, Topstone, Bivio, Mehteh, Midnight Special, mayve Bombtrack Hook, that type of thing. Any other strong contenders that should be on my shopping / eBay watch lists?
