Weird to ask about road plus bikes in the gravel sub but yall would be closer to the kinds of bikes I’m wanting.

I want a road bike that takes wide tires that is serviceable on gravel. 2nd choice would be a gravel bike that leans more road.

Comparing geo on bike insights has made me realize just how much of a road bike the Midnight Special indeed was…most of the bikes that I’ve compared are much more upright. Which is why I’m open to working both ends to the middle (Road to Gravel and Gravel to Road).

I’ve considered:
Cosmic Stallion
Blackheart Road Plus AL (seems close)
Fairlight Strael 4.0 (super close)
Richey Montabello
Wilde Rambler SL
Bombtrack Hook AL
Sklar Super Something
Otso Waheela

Not interested in debating plastic, just want to know if anyone has goto brands or select pieces that don’t have Forever Chemicals.
