Thanks for clarifying that when you said earlier that
"modern hybrids are just flat bar gravel bikes," you really meant that
"some higher performance hybrids" are like gravel bikes.
Can you show an example of one of these higher-performance 1X hybrids that has a carbon fork, hydro discs, gear braze-ons, and big tire clearance? I don't think I've encountered one.
