I do have 2 road bikes but one was a low level road bike from the early 90s and was justifiably upgraded with a higher end bike. But when I wasn't overly happy with the fit and feel of the race bike I changed just the frame and fork to have a better fit. From there all the bikes are different styles for different reasons. Like I really prefer cross for riding and racing and haven't had a real cross bike in years. I've used poor substitutes, like last year I raced on my gravel bike which was ok early season but only has clearance for 38mm tires and clogged up in the late season mud. The gravel bike was bought for touring and works perfectly for that from experience and is the only bike I have for that purpose.
