In the meantime it is going to have to be a 34F/32R. I just bought a new Emonda SL6 and the ease of achieving this gearing (vs trying to do it on my upgraded 1996'ish Bianchi) was one reason (it was my only bike). One other reason was the fact that an attempt to move the nose of my saddle 1/16", resulted in me being without a bike for 5 days (see

34/32 is pretty low, so you should be alright. If not, and you are running Shimano, you can probably put on a new rear derailleur (might not even need a new one) and an 11-34 cassette for a little extra oomph.
