Nice! That’s from when the Addict “Gravel” was actually just their cyclocross frame w/ 2X & bigger tires, something a lot of brands did when gravel started to take off. The newer / current Addict Gravel is still largely based off cyclocross geometry which a lot of folks prefer (myself included) if they’re coming from road bikes. Specialized Crux and Cannondale Super Six Evo are other examples of former cyclocross bikes being tweaked & marketed for gravel now. IMO, a CX geo gravel bike is the best option if you’re planning to do both road & gravel riding w/ a second set of wheels.
Gravel bikes that follow closer to cyclocross geometry are often considered “aggressive” or “race” geometry compared to the lazy handling progressive geo bikes that have become more common & preferred recently, although the pendulum seems to be swinging back a bit closer to CX geo for a lot of the big brands’ flagship offerings.
