It's designed for tarmac roads, good or bad...but not for gravel. I've used in some short gravel roads, but my tires 25C are not good for that purpose. It can take 28C tires.
I don't have a good idea about a fair price. I paid 1,250 for the frameset, with an Enve Carbon fork, in August 2019. It was only sold that year by Linskey. If it has an Ultegra, 1,500 USD would be a good price for me...you've got to think also in the quality of the wheelset.
Good luck!

wheel set is DT Swiss and full Campy Chorus, he is asking north of 1500,, looking for 2k from what he told me . I like that it takes wider wheels , I could do a rear saddle bag or front handle bar bag, for very light tour. I am looking forward to first titanium .
