I have a 2020 Schwinn Taff that I converted over to gravel. Kept the 29 wheels, and have Maxxis Rekon Race 29x2.25. Went with a rigid fork, and added some corner bars, so I could retain my shifter and brakes. I have a 1x with an 11-52T cassette. That Schwinn weighs in at 27.02 lbs, Not too shabby!

Ride what you own. Only caveat: avoid wet / soft trails with skinny tires (23-28mm). Single Track good too. Suspension is a nice feature provided it does not add too much weight. First - enjoy your ride!!

As the saying goes, every bike is a gravel bike. Some might not be optimized for gravel just as some aren't optimized for mtb or road. I prefer flat bars so I'll either ride my ht or one of my flat bar rigid mtb/gravel/atb on gravel, but will occasionally take my road bike w/40mm tires.

BTW, where in Jersey are you? I'm in NY 40mi outside the city visiting the parent and temps have hit the single digits the last few days.
