Many thanks, everyone. Keep the ideas coming, on what "gem" frames are out there that I should consider.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over finding the lightest steel vintage bike I can get my hands on. A good bike is--ahem--hard to find,
. If you find a great bike with tange prestige or similar tubing great. Otherwise, just get something good with chrome moly preferably double butted tubing. If you hold out for the "perfect" steel frame on the used market, you will miss out on a lot of really great bikes.
