I travel a ton for work and am looking to get a one tool bike for me to take on my work trips. Right not I take a Road bike mostly, but also sometimes a mountain bike. I always find myself wanting to ride roads when I have the mountain and trails with my road. So I am leaning to a gravel bike or road bike that will allow some wide tires and for gravel. 90% of my rides are road based, but like to twist off every now and then.

I am leaning to a titanium bike, because they are nearly indestructible and I travel weekly. Hauling around a carbon bike weekly scares me. Should it, or am I over thinking?

What gravel bikes with road like geometry would you guys recommend. I am looking to keep it under $5000 so Moots, Seven, a lot of the custom titanium builders are out, unless you know a place I can get a hell of a deal on a slightly used 56cm.

That leaves Litespeed and Lynskey. Also looking at Trek Domane (fit 30mm tires), Salsa Warbird, Pivot Gravel, Santa Cruz Stigmata. I am wanting 2X drive train with either Ultegra and Sram Force22 or greater.

What are y'alls recommendations? Help me choose my bike.
