If you had a Space Chicken & Sram Force build from Planet X, consider that a similarly priced steel bike can be about 20% heavier. Even if the geo matches, not guaranteed you'll feel it as "quick and numble".
If you go up a price bracket, and get a nice one with ~same spec, then you're looking at up to 1kg difference in frame. My Space Chicken frame in size 50 is 1133g, Standert is 1980g, the Ritte Satyr around 2200g.
Looking to acquire a new gravel/all road bike in 2023, preferably some higher quality steel (not gas pipe tubing) or titanium. Had a Space Chicken a few years ago, but crashed it. Still missing its quick and nimble geo. Is there any good metal frames out there with similar geo?
