Well groupset really, At present I have 2x10 lightweight steel road bike (10-speed Campag Record) and an 2x5 old-school (80s - downtube friction shifters) audax/light tourer. Both have a low gear around 34x30/32. To rationalise those into one bike (no idea if it's really possible), I'd like to get at least that low, if not lower for short tours, but I'd also like something with reasonably snappy, close shifts for when I want to go and get some exercise on an unladen bike.

are you asking groupset or gearing ?
I'd say a 1x11 shimano or sram thing with a 42 chainring and 11-40 cassette is perfectly fine for anything, if you don't mind the relatively large gear jumps
