Problem solved. You have what looks like a great bike. What are the brakes?
Discs. I'm running 28 mm "gravel" tires, which I take to be somewhere between road and cross tires. The gravel tires are fine but a bit lacking up the little steep "ups" when coming to a gate on the local rail/trail. And, you are correct. I won't be getting a gravel bike given the differences mentioned so far.
