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.
What do you mean when you say these 2 things?
- 'all trail'. Do you mean a mountain bike? Do you mean a gravel bike? All trails would include technical singletrack, but I don't think you are asking for that, based on the Trek bikes you mention.
- 'top end gearing'. Do you mean top end as in the top end of quality or do you mean top end as in the top end of the drivetrain's gearing range?

This is available in a smaller size, if it fits it might be what you want.
