Did this the other week for someone, obviously you'll want more steerer spacers, handled surprising different compared to my drop bar Kepler. I fit 700x40c with guards in mind, I had 42c sawtooths in there but it involved filing the fork crown a bit and never really had enough clearance.

I'm thinking of building a Kepler disc as a flat bar commuter thing that'll maybe get occasional use fannying about on bridleways, has anyone done the same? I'm torn between 700 and 650, any advice? Also, what are the largest tyres it'll take with guards?
Are there any other frames (beside a croix de fer which is the sensible and obvious but not very exciting choice, unless I shell out for the fun 853 version) I should be looking at that are steel, will take discs and big tyres and not cost a shitload?
