Note

Classification of gravel bikes is based on a frame size that fits a 175 cm high rider (generally frame size M or 54), according to manufacturer’s charts.

Racy bike frames have a combination of low stack, short front-center, high head tube angles, and low trail

Racy frames have short reach, relative to rowdy frames

Racy frames have short chainstays (and rear-center), relative to relaxed frames

Racy frames can have low seat tube angles

Racy frames tend to have short front and rear centers. Relaxed frames tend to have long front and rear centers. So both racy and relaxed frames have low front-center:rear-center but for different reasons.
