Its just like MTB, are most 30.9 or 31.6 ?

My roadie was 30.9, the Defy I have here on the smart trainer is 31.6.

To be honest, IMO 'gravel bikes' are only CX bikes with a bit slacker geo and CX are only roadies with more clearance, but not enough to fit a 29 x 2.2, as they are cheap and actual tyres branded gravel are not.

If I was going to spend money on a bike for gravel and adventures, Salsa Cutthroat would be the number 1 choice. Clearance for 2.4 rear and 3.0 front, rack mounts for everything and all day geo. Its where the gravel cool-aid is heading if you are not an out and out racer.

Was looking for a set of wheels and the Btlos was recommended by a few on here, sale looks pretty decent with the black friday sales. Happy to refer to get further discount.

There is not such thing. At best gravel is home brand rum (the nasty shit that tastes like nail polish remover) that you have poured out of a used ash tray using a strangers fork to try and filter out the cigarette discards from the ash tray. Gravel is garbage

Something is just a bit suss about that seller. It's just a hunch, but I get feeling that he runs some sort of stolen bicycle chop shop.
Awhile ago he was selling 3 asx dropper post without chargers!
He seems to sell a hell of lot of parts for a just "hobbyists."

But I could be wrong too.

He bought a mates bike not long ago.. buys cheap, sells for significant mark up, or parts out. He made no secret telling my mate he intends to flip his bike.

that explains the weird collection of parts. A bunch of stuff he curated into a complete bike to sell after he took the best bits for something else.
