I'm headed in a (somewhat) similar direction. I am awaiting the new shipment of Singular Gryphon frames - sort of a monstercross with an EBB.
My build will incorporate a Nuvinci N360, Salsa Gordo 29er rims, BB7's, Jeff Jones bar, and Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 32 and 50mm / Big Apple 60mm, depending on my mood. I have Nokian 38mm studded winter tires for it, plus a singlespeed MTB wheelset with 2.4" Racing Ralphs for offroad duty (or I can use the Nuvinci wheel if I want more flexibility). Yep, it'll be an all rounder.
My Summertime commuter and all-round great road companion is my "project" Marinoni. Here it is in commuter guise:
