Steel frame, classic geometry, rack/fender mounts - what is out there?
I have a bicycle like the Bianchi Volpe in mind but am wondering what else is out there. The last criteria would be weight, which I believe would disqualify frames like the cross-check that are rather heavy-duty.
If there are frames (of course there are) from other materials with all the other criteria (steel w/ carbon fork is great), it wouldn't hurt to mention them either. I'm envisioning a road bike that could be equipped with full fenders if need be, not so much a touring bicycle.

Gunnar, made in Waterford,WI. $850 for a stardard sized frame, $1150 for custom, fork is $400 more. They will put any modifications on the frame or fork you want. Great frameset for a great price!
