Slapped some 35mm Gravelking on it and I was surprised they fit!
The 36-36t gearing was bit shorthanded to the 12% climber I experienced.
Needs a proper gravel group set and more tire clearance!

Does elves have a gravel bike frame? I know they have a carbon mtb one
what fancy gradient bar tape is this?
Any bike is a gravel bike if you try hard enough.
That looks like a proper gravel bike. No need to spend more money
If that’s the gravel I’d say 35’s are plenty. Looks gorgeous
That sort of road is fine on 30mms.
You obviously can build up a gravel bike to get much lower gearing, especially with a mullet setup.
But a lot are still just 1:1 ratio between the 1x chainring and largest rear cog.
Maybe a little less like 40/42
I’m definitely not suggesting you shouldn’t get a new bike (just did the opposite myself, from gravel to full road bike) just that your current bike tyre clearance and gearing actually seem pretty good
