Because the extra say 900g that a steel frame might weigh, is'nt that noticable as it is static weight. In fact the benefits of the frame custom made by Feather, fastboy etc. could quite possibly outweigh this (OK you can get custom in any material, but steel is by far the easiest, for this option). Consider how your bike feels with full bidons, compared to empty. However losing a couple 100 grams off a wheelset is very noticable.
