After hours of scouring the forums, I hope that I might trouble y'all for your opinions on a bike build. I've bought a Rohloff, and I guess I'm going to build the bike to match it (I hear that happens a lot). This 700c/discbrake thread was great, but I still haven't found the perfect bike that:

- Fits 6'5" skinny guy w/ 35" inseam
- Is fun to ride in city
- Can handle salt/slush/mud as a commuter/day-tripper/pothole-basher
- Rohloff-ready with minimum disassembly/eBay part hocking (e.g. built single-speed, or frame/fork)

My shopping list seems to be:

- Eccentric BB (or disc-compatible sliding dropouts that don't suck)
- Disc tabs (mechanical discs ideal)
- Cyclocross-ish geometry with fender clearance
- Flat dropouts to fit Burley/Wike trailer hitch on left side
- Cheap/ugly

Ideas so far:
Steel Wool Tweed (nice, but expensive and possibly not trailerhitch-compatible)
Baron Outsider (niche, but nice looking)
Swobo Dixon (kludgy sliding dropouts)
Giant Seek 1 (don't need the hydraulic discs or Shimano hubs)
Mongoose Sabrosa (road-ish enough handling?)
Kona Explosif/Unit (again, roadish handling?)

I've test-ridden the Giant, but that's about all I have found in Toronto so far.

Anything I've missed? What would you suggest?
