I've got the hankering for a new (if not new to me) steel disc road bike. I dont want an adventure bike, or a grazzle bike.... I dont want 26 warts for attaching 13 different bags and 6 water bottles so that I can load 50 lbs of **** onto the bike which means the frame tubing was borrowed from the gas pipe warehouse so that it rides like a dump truck unloaded. I dont want sliding dropouts or 12 foot long chainstays, future (or past) shocks or motors. But I would like disc brakes, 75-80mm of BB drop, and room for 28mm tires.

What options are out there new, off the shelf, i.e. not from a custom builder? Right now the only thing I can find is that the Ritchey Road Logic will get disc brakes for next year's bike and be available sometime this fall. The All City bikes are out there but the geo is really goofy - like old school yuro BB CX bike height and 440mm chainstays.
