Re: Gravel frameset recommendations, anything I've missed?

Why not build a rigid boost MTB frame instead? I live in the urban city and close enough to the trails, but I prefer riding from my front door. My gravel needs lean more towards 65/35 road/dirt.

I would keep my current gravel frame as well, but it's from 2017 and I'm concerned there's cracking in the frame. I'm not sure if it's just the paint or actual frame damage. I might try doing a carbon repair job if (damaged) and repaint, but I want to secure a replacement frame if it takes awhile to fix.

Yes, I am already doing this.  I reconfigure my Spcycle 29er hardtail frame to:  Carbon rigid fork with either flat or "H" bars, or put on my 100mm travel Sid fork with either flat bars or "H' bars.  I recently rode a 590 mile Bikepacking ride with this bike using the rigid fork and it was set up to carry all my gear.  Worked out great overall.

I want a frame similar to a Salsa Cutthroat that has a shorter wheelbase than a typical rigid 29er, lower BB than a mtb bike, and can handle 50mm tires, preferably with a 148mm boost rear end with shorter rear triangle.

Wouldn't put too much stock in such tools but YMMV.

It won't vary, though.
