Endurance frame with 35mm tyre clearance

Hi can anyone recommend a frame that would be similar to a specialized Roubaix.  Room for light gravel tyres but good for long distance road.  Disc brakes and reasonably light.

Long Teng 301D. I have a 268 and love it. the 301 is more recent, lighter, and takes wider tyres. It's a chonky looking boy. And because their marketing budget is a grand total of zero, it's cheap. They OEM for Argon 18. I've built 2, very well finished. And i've ridden mine over 8k km this year, so i'm confident saying they make good stuff.

I was really considering getting this frame, but I just can't get over how flat the top part of the down tube is... It just doesn't fit the rest of the frame, looks very non aero

Each to their own, but it sounds like you're describing a kamm tail design, which is much more aero than a round tube.
