The Roll is hard to beat in that category there aren't a lot of bikes like it. I would say in terms of a normal hybrid the Sirrus X 4.0 would be a neat option but it is not quite as upright (though you could swap to a swept back bar and a different stem) and the tires aren't as wide but you do get a decent width and a carbon fork to help dampen vibrations. I would give both a test ride and see what you think. Jamis makes the Sequel which is a pretty neat steel bike with wider tires but again not quite as upright as the Roll but a really nice ride.

I would avoid Trek as they have odd proprietary stuff that I would not recommend like thru-skew which is a standard nobody asked for and nobody needed and doesn't really solve any issues that actual thru-axles didn't already solve a long time ago and that a normal quick release skewer didn't have when properly installed which isn't hard.
