What's the consensus on converting a hard-tail MTB frame to be a custom (EXPENSIVE) gravel bike replacement? I have a road bike, but it's boring... and my enduro ego needs me to be able to do kms on something that can handle unsealed trails. Been dreaming about getting a Canyon Grail because holy crap the value, but I don't want to wait 12months for industry supply to catch up if I can help it. A mate of mine is a dealer for Banshee bikes and he put the idea in my head of building a Banshee Paradox (https://www.bansheebikes.com/paradox-v3) with road bike components including hydraulic disc brakes. Disclaimer; I have a Banshee Titan and love the poo poo out of it so much that I have replaced almost every god damned part on it because I went with a full Shimano XT kit (full wheels, full drivetrain, full brakes) and it likes to fail catastrophically.

180cm Rocking a large Titan as my daily driver. I think my 2013 Specialized Allez is a medium. I wouldn't want it to be any smaller.

What is the downside of having too much reach on a long distance rider? Is it more fatiguing on shoulders/core muscles or something? ... assuming IF i was to dodgy up a hard-tail, it would include drop bars.
