Habanero sells a road Ti frame with couplers for an extra $1000.

Salsa sells (sold) a coupled Vaya (with disk brakes) and Surly has the LHT deluxe.

Disk brakes are hard to do.
The Ritchey frame includes a soft-sided bag in the price. I don't like it, because it doesn't provide the necessary protection to the frame IMO, but it is there included in the price. Not so with S&S.
