   there was a nice looking IF bike on here the other day but I don't think you'll find a 'light' steel road frame now particularly with CEN coming in a while back.

   Kona Kapu, Kona Haole, Perogetti, Holdsworth Special Edition to name a few.

   Some of these may not be light though

   Condor Cycles do a few in their range, worth a look.

   the Genesis equilibrium frame is lovely, and light too.

   (not expensive either)

   Hard to beat home grown if you have the budget. There's plenty good builders, including Mercian

    Colnago Master Art Deco

    Not new obviously, but a work of art nevertheless.

    +1 For Condor they have several models.
    Bob Jackson off the pegs.
    Mercians
    Enigmas....never really got their pricing. Seems dear for off the peg.
    Masters, silly money now.
    Steel is lovely for a just riding bikes.

    Is it famous?

    Yes it's my pride and joy, different wheels, bars, tape, tyres, seat pin but yes looking good, i was interested in your wheels thread as i'm contemplating some handbuilt Hewwit Open pros on Record hubs as i had some for my new crosser and love them

    Well worth the custom fit IMO as my legs are 2" too long for my height

    I like these:

    

    Do you have a budget?

    rourke and enigma for stiff,light and racy frames at sensible prices
    pegoretti if you want to treat yourself (i did)

    forget all that retro lugged stovepipe stuff with quill stems.
    modern oversize tigged frames in columbus spirit, 853, tru-temper etc are much better to ride.

    "Better" in what way?

    lighter, springier, more responsive, livlier handling.....

    just my opinion having ridden both though, YMMV

    I had a condor fratello until recently, I think it was deda sat 14.5 or something? Anyway it looked really nice but the ride was pretty rubbish when compared to a good carbon frame
