Saw another 26” gravel bike conversion so I felt inspired to share mine.
1995 19” Rockhopper. My parents bought it new back in the day and gave it to me when they moved out of state in 2009. I rode it a bit, then threw it in the basements until 2 years ago when it dug it out of hibernation to turn it into my commuter. And, well, things snowballed from there.
In addition to being a year round commuter, I’ve taken it on some single tracks, road rides, a gran Fondo (Gran Fondo Leavenworth, in Eastern WA), plenty of fire roads and double tracks. It’s my every-day bike and I love it.
Pictures are in reverse chronology.

Can’t edit, but wanted to add that I’ve put over 1500 miles on it in the past two years. The majority of which was in the last 14 months.
