If I were starting over with a non-touring road bike and still wanted low gears 
on it and wanted brifters, the following is what I'd do (and the SRAM rep told 
me it would work very well):

I'd get SRAM road brifters and use a 34-50 crank.
In the rear, I'd use a cassette that goes to 36.
I'd use it with the SRAM mountain derailleur in the rear.

Lowest gear ratio would be 34/36, and it would work really nicely.
