Gee...not to complicate things...because in the related thread I said you could probably make the original work for you...but maybe, since you have a new gravel bike, AND you rode a Roadeo and really liked it, maybe the new Roadeo is the way to go. It IS built by Mark Nobilette and it is 2800.00, but it has 51 and 53 cm sizes and you have a range of options , including paint so....something to consider
