Which steel road frames / steel bikes?

Dumping most of your short list so you're not paying IF and GeekHouse hipster tax! !! .. what about Serotta or Baum to add to Hampsten

Ultimately my choice would be a UK builder so I could go see them with my custom fitting geometry and discuss face to face etc ..

+1

I'm not really sure why you'd drop +£1k on something like an otp GeekHouse road frame, when you could have something built by someone with a lifetime of experience who you can meet and discuss with in the UK.

But on the foreign list I'd add Pegoretti, he smashes IF and GH on the bling stakes....

...and in that price bracket if you're just after a road frame go carbon and get a LOOK.
