• I'm thinking an ideal functional winter road bike for me would be

    all steel frame and fork,
    disc brakes
    Clearance for 35 with mudguards
    Drop bar
    Hub gear
    Dynamo routing
    Endurance/ touring geometry
    Classic steel looks e.g. like Singular cycles

    Basically something as simple to maintain as possible.

    Anything I should be looking at? Possibly custom?

  • What kind of shifter do you expect to use?
    I'm not aware of any stock builds with IGH and drop bars.
    Could convert at Bombtrack Arise singlespeed to hub gears or Pelago Hanko Commuter to drop bars.

  • Böttcher, co-motion and a few other do it with rohloff and di2 alfine11 is even easier to incorporate with drop bars. you can also check through this to find stock rohloff drop bar bikes
