what about the other way round?

 

Can you use a specialised diverge as a road bike? Drop some 303 firecrests with 30mm tyres and off you go.

Anything can be a gravel bike if you’re brave enough. Check out the rig Matthys Beukes just used at Swartberg! 28c front and rear, rim brake, down tube shifters, steel. 

I love the internet.... Using extreme outlier data as general examples.

Pretty sure Matty's could ride any bike to a fantastic result at most races.
