If you want to ride gravel roads, and not just hardpack limestone paths, perhaps a tire wider than 32 will help make for a more enjoyable experience.
Many touring bikes from the 80s had geometry that was 72deg HTA and 73deg STA and would qualify as being part of the overall 'sport geometry'. They will fit 35 or even 38mm tires too.
Another option are early 90s hybrid frames. Trek Multitrak, for example. These were super popular and can fit 40mm tires.


The trouble with asking for specific frame recommendations is that you are then searching for a specific 30-40 year old frame in a specific size while potentially missing out on options that would work just because they arent the model you happen to look for.
