I can't find a 1994 Riv catalog-- wasn't Grant still working for Bridgestone then? but I think Grant called them adventure bikes or all road bikes something like that.
The question was "when was the
term gravel bike used". A lot of people are answering "when did gravel bikes start" which are two different things.
Like I said earlier my guess is around ~2010 depending on manufacturer but I'm willing to be wrong.
