Steel road bikes, who has one?

[tc1]

I love my Rodriguez, too. It is definitely out of that price range. I have found that little custom bike shops are all over the place in the US, maybe you could find out what the custom place is in your region and find a used one for sale.

I am so glad that the aluminum bike I bought was a two hundred dollar bike instead of an expensive road bike. It has the harshest ride ever.

I've never ridden steel (although have been very curious about it) but if you're seriously considering a steel frame, don't forget Gunnar The make custom frames for an additional charge

The teeny tiny itsy bitsy picture in my profile is my Mondonico and KnottedYet's gold Waterford cross (which was bought right here on TE!).

Waterford is Gunnar's custom line.

I <3 steel.

My bike is out of your price range, heck it was out of MY price range. And now Antonio Mondonico, the builder is retired. But sometimes you can find one on the used market.

If you can find a Torelli or Mondonico bike in your size BUY IT!

Terry is also having a big closeout sale on some previous years bikes, some of which are in steel. If you need a smaller frame size, they may fit better. The link was posted in another thread, or just look at the terry site.
