The ultimate dual-purpose bike: Which gravel bikes also shine on the road?

Which gravel bike is the best to use as a road bike? It depends - but going with a bike that has a relatively steeper head tube and a wide gear range is a good place to start.

Another way to look at it is considering which endurance/allroad bike works best as a gravel bike.

I talk to recently crowned US gravel champ Brennan Wertz for his thoughts on the matter, as he won the pro title on an allroad bike.
