A few more candidates beyond what's been mentioned so far, for anyone else who's looking:
Kona Esatto Ti was made for rim brakes for a year (or two?) before transitioning to discs.
Soma Pescadero, Tange Prestige steel for the main triangle.
Zancanato Road32 -- not sure if this is essentially custom, or if there are stock sizes. (It's also pricier than custom from Curtlo or Carver, but that's another issue.)
Independent Fabrications Club Racer used to be for rim brakes, I think; not sure about that.
