Thamkyouverymuch.
My own design, 3/2.5 ti, made for me in around 2008 by xacd,
(must be said the welds are better than on my lynskey litespeed or sandvik orange)
although fundamentally i like a galaxy geometry, but dropped the bb a little, made some tyre clearance and added IS mounts on rear.
I.e. it's all been done before, but a tourer with discs was quite rare at this point.
I did sell a couple, but tbh buying off China to sell your own product takes marketing, which makes me feel nauseous.
Oh then came the Gravel bike!
It's on its second groupset, 105 now hydro 11.
Fantastic bike, Been many thousands of miles

Maybe in early 2000s, the bigbrand frame designers rode MTB or Tour, but never both!
Disc on drop bar came in from smaller brands imo, with bigger tyres to lay down that stopping power.
Look at it now!
Turns out better brakes and fatter tyres make you go faster...
