The weight will go up a bit, but a FS drop bar gravel bike.... sounds fun!!!
the only reason to play with the idea is because , some will argue that Gravel bikes should be MTB with drop bars.

The new Trek Supercaliber would be a good candidate for fs drop bar gravel. 60mm in the rear and it's a strut vs an air shock.

My original post was more about being FS and the weight, than being a mtb geo. I guess the personal experience for me, has been with riding the hi-mod scalpel. The thing is a rocket. Then again I have spent 3 years on a 32t 1x. My scalpel has a 38T large on a 2x. so yeah gearing changes a lot also.
however 20-21 lb FS 29ers is just nuts light!!!
