SLACK Gravel Frame

Congratulation, you have just invented an old XC frame. Don't forget about new fancy boost hubs for gravels (which are not a joke anymore).

What I really want to see in the factory direct gravel frame category is some suspension corrected frames with the latest third/fourth generation gravel geometry: 40-50mm fork travel, 50mm tire clearance, dropper post compatible (preferably), tall head tube/high bar height, short stem, steep seat tube, slightly slacker head tube than second generation bikes, Universal Derailleur Hanger, etc

Just get and mtb and put suspension fork mate. Sounds like this is what you need.

An example, 38T, 70/73.5°:

There're also a few modern frames on aliexpress that can handle 38T or even 40T chainring.

So, no top end and no low end, and terrible efficiency in most of the gearing range for gravel ... with huge cadence jumps to boot.  And a road frame like STA.
