A gravel bike is like a quadbike. All of the problems of a car and a bike with none of the benefits of either.

The wrong bike in every situation.

All these are lovely, but I refer to my first comment. Cheap.
Single speeds comes after you've worn out the gears.
Steel falls into the cheap bracket (I'd maybe spend on an inbred to be honest). Rigid, yep cheap bracket. Cable discs, cheap cheap, like the budgie.

Once more with feeling, cheap.

Single speed is hard work in mud

Is it? Oh, bugger. Yet here I am, still doing it. SS is never the right gear. You get used to it.

Cheap with lots of clearance.

Used Surly Troll or Crampus? Or better yet, a pugsly or moonlander.
