Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Road bike manufacturers offering SRAM groupsets?

I'm trying to find a bike for endurance riding for my first road bike and really want a SRAM equipped bike. Canyon sells a very nice bike that is exactly what I'm looking for with the SRAM apex groupset and Mavic Aksium wheels for $1300 which is a hell of a deal, but alas, there is no way to get it to the U.S. that I know of. Does anyone know of a manufacturer offering a similar setup?

Yes. Specialized, Cannondale, Trek, Bianchi, etc., you could also visit your LBS.

I would think it would be harder to find a major manufacturer that DOESN'T offer SRAM as an option.

Not to mention that any decent LBS will be able to swap out a group if there's a particular frameset you want where SRAM doesn't come stock.
