    Disc brakes might be a bit of over-kill for a commuter.

    Steel step-through can be had, both as loop frame and as mixte.

    If you felt like building up your own from the parts of your current mixte, you could look at getting a steel mixte frame like the Soma Buena Vista. Mmmm, mixte... http://somafab.com/bvista.html

    These are steel:

    Deja vu in the Public mixte: http://publicbikes.com/p/PUBLIC-M8 but Public comes in 3 sizes, where Linus only comes in one size (little). The Public has an internal gear set-up, though.
