Oh and in case my log winded bloviating above about my personal bike journey in the response above wasnt clear enough --- definitely build around the use of disc brakes and a modern 1-by drivetrain ! - Would still pair nicely with the fattest file tread comfy riding cotton casing tubulars you can find -- but even the old Paris-Roubaix spec 28c tubulkars might seem pretty narrow and harsh compared to the modern tubeless technology that has erupted around the gravel world
