What's the rear spacing on the Roger? That's the big deal. I believe the Shimano hubs need 135 spacing. The roller brake Nexus line did. As lone as the spacing is wide enough,you can put a internal gear hub on any SS,fixie,or bike with sliding dropouts. You can also put it on any bike with vertical dropouts if you use a tensioner.

Specialized has a Alfine/disc bike called the Globe Centrum:

Trek also has a Soho Alfine:

As posted above,Brodie also makes an Alfine/disc bike,as does Rocky Mountain. Swobo is supposed to be coming out with a SRAM 9sp/disc bike.

I had a Milano and have a Surly 1x1 with Nexus 7. The Nexus hubs were nice,but personally I prefer the SRAM i-Motions. The cable attachment is easier to unhook than the Nexus' routing around the hub.
