Right I'm going back to steel so!!!!!! Colnago master X light, a total rip off but there you go.!! The bianchi dolomiti is nice too, as is the kona kapu, both of which I reckon are the same frame from the same very asian factory. Both a bit expensive, then fashion always was I suppose.

This bias you could be left off for because you're right, it is gorgeous. Colnago have some really nice paint schemes. I'd be tempted but must first get rid of two bikes to make way for it, not sure herself would be to pleased then again it is almost christmas.!!!

Have you looked into Independent Fabrications? They're doing good things with steel.

Id also look into Richard Sachs who does fabu work in steel and the paint is by Joe Bell.
http://www.richardsachs.com/
Also, a friend of mine has a De Rosa Neoprimato (I rode with him in Belgium and on the Roubaix course---last half of the pave sectors) and he absolutely loves it. Incredible steel frame.

What is the waiting list for Sachs these days? Last I heard it was more than six years.
