Or, if you don't need folding, perhaps the Bike Friday Haul-a-Day (will disassemble somewhat).

But I have no experience with it. Sport touring geometry. Might be worth seeking out some owners and seeing how they like and whether your current components could move over easily.
I was going to suggest the Buena Vista. And it comes in sizes large enough that a 100 pound rider would have to be awfully skinny.

I've, on occasion, ridden Mom's Motobecane Grand Jubilee Mixte, and at least unloaded it rides just fine. I can't imagine a load on it would be much different than carrying cargo on my Colnago racing bike which I've done many times. No doubt a quality vintage bike could be customized to one's modern needs.
