Looking for the perfect (biaised) commuting bike

Hi there,

I'm new to the forum.
I ride a Trek FX 7.3 (2010 model) daily to commute (home - work, 20 Km in total).

I'm fairly happy with it but I tend to dislike the maintenance and thus do not really put the required effort.

I'm looking for what would appear to me as the perfect commuter workhorse:

- similar to the FX (geometry, weight, etc.)
- disk brakes (mechanical or else)
- drop handlebars
- nexus rear hub (not that much to climb here in Brussels, although ...)
- hub generators (dynamo in the hub)
- belt drive instead of a chain

Would anyone know whether such a bike exists?

I am presently considering the Trek Soho or the CrossRip.
I'm fairly sure other brands would offer alternatives.

Feedback on possible models / brands or on the items above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Cheers
