^ Like that a lot.

Opps - now fixed

dear functional bike fans

Thinking about a new commuter build.

Would like

Steel frame & forks
Relaxed geo & low trail forks for front rack
Clearance for 650b 2.35/60mm tires
Disc brakes
Full mudguards
Internal cable routing
Flat bars
Dynamo lights front and rear

Single speed is fine, geared is also fine. Don't care if its heavy.

Any idea about what frames I should be looking at? Happy to buy second hand.

Sounds pretty niche. Surly Ogre maybe? No internal routing but that sounds like a ball ache anyway. Not much out there with low trail and those clearances afaik. Rawland Ulv is about all I can think of off the top of my head. You might be able to do something clever with an MTB frame and aftermarket rigid fork.

Also, I don't think a slack head angle is generally great for front load.
