Dredging this up to see if you or anyone else figured the answer to your question? Im similarly pretty intrigued by the idea of building a steel rim brake nippy bike - with mudguard eyelets and 1 1/8 threadless steerer - as a winter bike, so nothing mega fancy
ojwithbits-
I’ve got an older Ribble 525 that does this. Think their current version has better clearances too

Not the nippiest but Kona Honky Tonk clears 28c with guards?

Not much tbh. Couple of things came along, Dawes sportif 853 and surly pager but was skint at time so had to pass unfortunately.
There’s a nice thorn audax 853 in Bristol on gumtree atm if you’d fit a 52

nice! apart from the mr pink, are there any other steel rim braked frames out there that take mid reach brakes and have fairly aggressive geometry?
