All the Roubaix's that I've seen or heard of max out at 28mm tire clearance and even 28's are pushing it on most of the older models. Do the new ones handle 30's or 32's without resorting to discs?

The new Roubaix is spec'd to 32 on the tires, but on discs. I don't think it's made with calipers anymore. So if you don't want discs, this one won't fit the bill.

Candidates for a lightweight road frame that handles 32's, non-disc?
Singular Osprey. I believe the frame has been discontinued, but there may still be old new stock available in XL. I had similar requirements for my commuter (rim, 28s w/fenders, ability to tension a chain w/o a derailleur). My build is a single speed (47:18), and I keep my PDW fenders on full time. It will clear 32s easily w/o the mud guards. Good looking frameset, economical, and super fun to ride.

On the vintage front, you might consider a Cannondale ST series. I have a 90' ST600. Ya, it's a little heavy (over engineered in good ways), But it has roadish geometry and rides like it. Here is mine with 38mm Panaracers.

What size (in Centimeters) do you need?

62-ish by 59.5-ish, reach right around 40.5cm. Strong preference for a BB drop of 70-72mm; possibly okay with 68mm or down to 75mm. "Road" geometry from there.
