well I ended up getting the Poseidon X (from California startup ish company), an entry level cross/gravel bike. Only other adult sized bike I had was a late 80s touring bike that I treated as a "go anywhere" bike (gravel, dirt, rough city streets, etc.).
I have to say I love it. Not sure it's an upgrade over my old bike, but it's really good and modern. Light, easy to go fast, good gearing range for me (2x10) since I'm just putzing around. Well ... I've immediately started find tuning/modifying the fit ... I guess it's going to be more like a comfort bike (better saddle, higher handlebars for more upright posture, etc.) - I kinda think this subcategory is a vanity subcategory the way SUVs are just station wagons for people too vain for a minivan. I guess I coulda bought a comfort bike but I like to go a little faster and love the lightness of the gravel bike and how it has a lot of places for attachments and room for upgrades.
