Is there truly a bike out there that fits this bill?
1. Use for commuting – Mudguards and road tyres (32mm or so)
2. Use for winter training – relatively racey geo
3. Use for offroad/cross – mudguards off and knobbly 33's on and disc brakes
4. Alloy but stiff
I have a 2015 arkose and it's just not particularly springer or responsive even with road tyres and an OK wheelset.

My 2014 Giant TCX has done all of those things. Agree with the other posts saying adding / removing mudguards is a faff especially when they need a bit of bodging with no seatstay bridge.
