We do get a little overattached to steel The thing about steel is that you may not see one at all if going to a LBS; it's hard to buy if you are not looking. Carbon is the rage, and since OP asked if steel weren't heavier than carbon, that made me think she was considering carbon. Nothing wrong with carbon, but I wish I'd gotten steel instead.
Thanks, Muirenn! My steel frame weighed under 17 pounds before the pedals. That was the same as my carbon bike. You are right about not finding any in a LBS. I drove 6 hours to find a shop that carried 4 brands of steel bikes. Can you believe they only had 3 carbon bikes in the whole store??? I thought I was in heaven!
