Recommend me a new bike

I have a lovely 1998 Stumpjumper FSR XC which I have used a lot and upgraded to Avid discs and XTR groupset and I will be keeping it. However, I rode a rigid for the first time in years at the weekend and had forgotten how fantastic they can feel.

I am getting a fancy for a steel rigid frame/forks with discs, and gearing for not too hilly cross country. Mainly fields, lanes and canal towpaths but I am no racing whippet so ultralight is pointless. I also fancy putting the bike together myself.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
