Been thinking about the whole drivetrain dilemma too. Might even be better to go 1x the way GRX is now. Would it be possible to change the chainring on a grx crankset to a 32 t narrow wide chainring and then use a 11-42 cassette? Think the gearing would actually work as far as getting sub 20 gear inches. c'mon shimano, you're not making this easy :-p
