Take a look at the Salsa Vaya. It has drop bars, but the stance isn't as aggressive as a road bike. You can easily add fenders and racks. It will also take very wide tires, if you want to go offload.The stock tires are 40mm. You have your choice of a compact double and brifters, or 3 chain rings and bar end shifters.The Vaya is awesome and very versatile. It even has disk brakes.
