Rival AXS Equipped Bikes.
I am looking for suggestions on Rival eTap AXS equipped bikes around $3000. The only two I can find is Cannondale Caad13 at $3,325 and Canyon Endurace CF7 for $3,000 that isn’t in stock.
Strangely enough I have seen quite a few Rival AXS bikes priced higher than 105 Di2 bikes even though the Shimano group set is considerably more expensive. Also there seem to be quite a few more bikes equipped with 105 Di2 than Rival AXS.
If anyone know of any current models that I am overlooking I would greatly appreciate it.

You would be better off getting a frame set that works for you and then buy the Rival kit separate. Not having to run wires or cables make setup a piece of cake, outside of the brakes, but still , I refit my older Emonda from mechanical Ultegra to Force eTap AXS (rim brake) and it took me a little less than 2 hrs total remove and replace for all parts needed. I found the shifters\derailleurs as a combo, the chain, cassette, crank, BB, and XDR hub body for my wheel were separate purchases. Saved a chuck of change doing it this way versus buying a new bike.
