I know there's more, just can't think of any at the moment.
It would probably help if you had a more specific set of criteria... there are plenty of road bike frames that you can put a touring fork on and get lowrider racks on. Nashbar makes a decent touring frame for $100, plenty of people like them.
How similar to the VO Rando does it have to be? Plenty of touring bikes would fit the bill, and some more relaxed steel road bikes would work, too.
