You could easily make this bike. I don't know your budget but start with a surly cross check($400). Add a disc fork($80), avid bb-7 front disc brake ($50), canti avid rear brakes($25), shimano lx/xt drivetrain ($300), custom wheels built to support a disc brake up front and rim brakes in the rear ($200-300 for velocity rims on xt hubs) and everything else to your liking (stem, handlebars, seat post, seat, grips, clamps). You can have an unique, bomb proof ride specced exactly how you want for around $1300 + labor. If you are patient, ebay proficient and mechanically inclined you can build this for under a grand.

(or you can buy that Jamis )
