gravel grinders generally are not cross race geometry, they have a longer wheelbase, often longer chainstays, and often slacker seat tubes than a cyclocross bike, and they only share the wide tire fitment and low bb drop of a cross bike. what you have is a cross bike, and a great one. putting semi-slick tires on it doesn't make it a gravel grinder.

i know it's semantics and it's ****ty of us to correct you so plainly, but it's why some bikes are called cyclocross and why the new bikes called gravel grinders are actually a different type of bike. so does it matter? not really, unless you care about correct terminology.
