And it has the cheapest/oldest parts on it. A square taper bottom bracket. It just works. Mechanical disk brakes. Once you get the hang of setting them up, they work better than most cheap hydraulic brakes. Be a man and squeeze the levers dude Don't be such a pansy.
Absolutely your bike counts as a flat bar gravel bike, if that floats your boat. Just like any new bike marketed as one is.
