First, I think it's funny that you request suggestions for a "modern" bike with a 1" threaded steerer. Outside this little bubble, 1" threaded forks are obsolete. Even the 1-1/8" threadless that replaced 1" threaded is on the wane for non-steel bikes in 2012.
Second, I have suggested many times to my friends at Surly that they make a mixte version of the LHT. I think it would be a hit if offered as a complete bike in a fun color.
