I have owned MANY fine bikes but I am down to a 2001 Marin Rift Zone 26" fs mtn. bike and the Rivendell Rambouillet I bought new 20 years ago or so. 3x9 Ultegra, 32 hole Open Pros on Ultegra hubs, Nitto Noodles on Technomic stem. Brakes are mid-reach so it takes 35mm tires with room to spare. It has eyelets for fenders and racks. Mine is a 62cm frame so I can hang a huge saddle bag from my B-17 without needing a rack or fender to keep it off my rear tire. If you can find one of these or the similar Romulus I think you will have all your requirements met.
Check with our esteemed DBRK in Bristol to see if he knows where you might find such a bike in The Finger Lakes.
