Re: Gravel bike converted to road bike? [runner66]
Without question.

Some will mention geometry differences and point out handling changes.
However, in practice, it makes very little difference and any changes in handling will probably become "the new normal" as soon as you switch.

The one question is around the internal width of the rim. If the width is relatively wide, to accept a wider gravel tire, it may not play nicely with a "narrow" road tire.

Which model of bike do you have?
The Sequoia have wider rims than the Diverge.
Sequoia rim (~25mm internal rim width) probably need relatively wide road tires (new 32mm GP5000 may work well).

The Diverge has a narrow rim width and probably works with tires down to 28mm, maybe even narrower.
