I think you should just look for the original "Do All bike" a late '80s Bianchi Volpe or even any of the late '80s early '90s Bianchi Cross bikes.
The '86 and '87 are my personal favorites as they still have a crowned fork. All the Bianchi cross bikes come with full ChroMoly frames good tire clearance and and lots of brazeones, they even have 2 extra ones!
Here is my Sizzling Peach '86 Volpe pretty much stock as the owner sold it to me, unfortunately the Texas sun was not kind to the paint.
After several makeovers this is how she is currently fitted out. Pretty much everything but the seat post and cantilevers have been changed
The '89 Equinox is pretty much perfect (well for a shipmano equipped bike) with the Prestige frame and mix of Deore XT and 600. I was lucky enough to score this example with about 100+/- miles on it.
If your really lucky and you make a sacrifice to the Bianchi and Columbus Gods you might stumble across a MAX OR framed gem like my Boarala
