Surly's "hybrid" this year uses a Bridge Club frame*, which is basically in between a Troll and Ogre without their special features. I think it would be a fine bike to own but it doesn't really tick...

I ride a Salsa Journeyman in the winter in Eastern Iowa. It is a quite hilly area with pretty extreme winter conditions. We had a good stretch of sub zero (F) last winter, even dipping down below...

This ^^.
My "winter" bike is a folder because it has to go on a train (Chicago area). I went to a roller brake on the rear wheel to put a stop to the severe rim wear that was happening as a result...

Per above, it looks easier on the ones not made for thru axles. Frustrating!

Salsa makes a few frames with “Alternator” drop outs which will accommodate IGH in the rear and whatever fork in the...

Have a look at Surly or Soma. They make disc brake frames with drop-outs which can be build up with IGH.

I'll echo others in saying that I don't understand your desire for thru-axles. While I have never used one, I also never had any problems with QR skewers and I use disk brakes.

I agree with Hypno Toad, your feature list seems pretty reasonable. I'm in SW Ontario for reference. I'm not sure I'd include thru-axles as a must have.

I've done singlespeed, and while it was...

I like your list. My one edit was single-speed instead of internal gearing. I had a hilly commute and kept it small...
