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.
I love how over the top English's igh/commuter/winter bikes are. His personal commuter is pretty rad and has seen big miles and a two gear hubs. Hopefully they're all used as much as his.

Anything I should be looking at? Possibly custom?
