I'm not saying people shouldn't ride a "true" gravel bike if that turns their cranks. I'd also say flat bars on a gravel bike isn't really what I am talking about in the vein of riding a rigid/hardtail MTB with fast rolling tires on "gravel" rides. Flat bars doesn't really change the versatility of a machine much vs. drop bars.
