I do like the growler 26 (LTD) but can I wait?

I really like the WTP Avenger 26 a lot too. Great style (klunker) great color (candy blue) , and best of all, all silver components. (on the 2019 model) But I'm not sure about the 33/13 gearing. For one, I prefer the larger chainrings/freewheels for looks and efficiency, and for another it's a bit too high of a ratio for me, (67 gear inches) and I'm not sure how that style hub/freewheel works. Is a compatible 14 tooth available? I'm only familiar with the standard size 16 tooth and up freewheels.

That's one of the nice things about the Redline... with 39/17 gearing out of the box, (about 60 gear inches) I'd be good to go. Plus, with the flip flop hub and standard size freewheels, I could put an 18 (or 16) on the other side.
