On One just came out with a new gravel/adventure bike. It fits 700 x 50 or 650b x 54 tires, so its got great clearance. I'm not really in the market for a bike right now, but this looks pretty good for the money.
Funny, the bike in the photo, although marked "Free ranger" on the top tube, is in fact a Space Chicken (been around for a while) with the color scheme of the new Free ranger. If you click the link, you see the photo posted here, but in the gallery down the page you see that the Free ranger has a different chain stay and cable routing design.
By the way, the Free ranger is a rebranded Carbonda CFR696 frame. You can probably get it cheaper there if you want a frameset only.
CRC has the Vitus Substance branded carbonda 696 bikes and have recently expanded their line from 1 to 3 or 4. I bought from CRC in October on closeout and have been very happy with it. Looked at the space chicken, had prohibitive import $$ into USA but had some more customization options. gratuitous photo below with 2.1 thunderburts..
