It seems I am limited to purchasing an FX6 and changing the gearing or a Checkpoint with the etap and converting to flat bar. The former seems the best choice. Price wise it’s close and the FX are designed for comfort.
yes I’ looked into custom but prices are insane here.
It's called market segmentation. Folks wanting a flat bar comfort bike typically are scared away by the prices of higher end components. And they don't see the value, so companies don't make the bike you want.
