In a related matter.
Are the big name companys, trying to jump on the percieved steel road bike revival, failing badly?
Steel road frames have always been around OTP or custom, and at least some 'ready to ride' bikes have been available.
But recently (OK a year or so ago) people like Evans and Wiggle started stocking OTP steel road bikes, and I for one was disapointed in the builds. No-one expects NOS campy on an OTP production bike, but at least components which are in keeping retro style of the frame.
e.g. Bianchi dolomiti (Evans)
(the Bianchi is quite nice, but the black parts just look out of place to me)
