disc brakes but quick release drop-outs and 135mm rear spacing, rack and mudguard mounts, maybe more traditional geometry rather than sloping top tube, 1 1/8 non-tapered steerer forks. It'll mainly be used for touring, but I'd like it to not be an absolute tank
Didn't tonnes of bikes used to fit this description? My Pass Hunter does. Now they'll all be Thru Axle, tapered, flat mount, etc etc. So second hand for sure.

Wondering out loud here as I haven't seen a thread for this kind of question (difficult to search for it too, tbh).
I'm looking for a bike/frame that's essentially a steel version of the one I currently have in aluminium (a Triban RC520). So disc brakes but quick release drop-outs and 135mm rear spacing, rack and mudguard mounts, maybe more traditional geometry rather than sloping top tube, 1 1/8 non-tapered steerer forks. It'll mainly be used for touring, but I'd like it to not be an absolute tank so I can pretend to ride up hills fast when all the luggage and stuff is off it or I've put 'lightweight' stuff on it.
Does this frame/bike exist? If so, what should I be looking at? Price is a consideration too, so second-hand availability would be cool.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
