Drop bars and disc?
I know there are some bikes out there, but does anyone know of one available ready made?
That will take fenders and a rack? Doesn't have to have disc on the back, front is enough.
Looked at the Devinci Caribou 2, seems a little short in back. Prefer a more traditional
touring geometry.

Someone has a list that they have posted in response to this question which lists a few bikes that may fit your needs.
You may want to check the touring and/or commuting forums for that list.
One that you can check out is the Raleigh Sojourn

I like my Brodie Ronin, but I think the chainstays are even shorter than the Devinci. Why the preference for touring geometry?
