That gcn vid is getting ripped on by chas, but it seemed great to me.
it highlighted differences between the two styles.

- large open area of triangle for CX.
- lower bb for gravel.
- lot of mount points for gravel.
- 1x gearing for CX vs 2x for gravel.

they also highlight how significant tire size is and why.

pretty helpful for all those who ask what the difference between CX and gravel bikes are.
