Does this bike exist?

[dplasters]

I’ve been messing around with the idea of getting one of these fandangled multi-geared chain powered bikes. I want something that I can learn to maintain and do all the work myself over time though. Based on retrogrouch things I read and my own obsession with clean lines, I end up with the following criteria:

• Internal Cable Routing (me)
• Space for 32-35mm tires (smallest studded tires they make I believe?) (BAFS has a hold on me)
• BSA/ISO threaded bb (retrogrouch/buying a bunch of tools for the pressing process looks annoying)
• I’m indifferent to frame material (although lighter is nicer in my view)

So far my only option is Specialized. Which was surprising….

Anyone have other ideas? Or a magic way to get Canyon bikes into the USA?
