For the kind of work you're talking about, I run a KinesisUK Racelight 4S with 30c Schwalbe S-One on 18.1mm internal rims, which measure out pretty close to 32mm; I'll see if I can find the measurement here, or just go remeasure in the morning.

Mine is a no longer available caliper version, but you wanted disc anyway; tire clearance limitation is at the BB. Parallel 73.5 HT/ST angles and the 45mm offset fork feel pretty roadie sporty. 420mm stays.

I use a carbon Jamis Endura that fits 700x32 Vittoria Hyper tires or 700x34 Clement USH tires. I like using it as a "gravel" bike more than my cyclocross bike with 700X34 tires. Continental Speed tire in 34 rubs rear brake bridge slightly.
I does feel like a road bike that also gives me the options on go on trails if I want to.
The only problem it has a very long headtube and one may use a negative degree stem to keep the handlebar low.

Another Jamis plug from me, My steel Jamis Quest Comp takes 30's. In fact I raced it in a dry cyclocross race a few weeks ago. Rear chain stays is the tightest point, where 30mm is probably close to the limit I would run...but the front fork would easily take 35mm.

2017+ Roubaix will. When I put Mavic Ksyrium allroads on they came with a 30m tire and there was still plenty of room. Now running Schwalbe one 28's and there is loads of extra space

My Gunnar Sport will take a 32 Gravelking SK on Pacenti SL23 with room to spare. Probably would take a 35 smooth tire but that's a guess.
