I just mentioned C&V because of the OP's stated desire for steel. Good, lightweight steel bike of all sorts are the bread&butter of the C&V. Not necessarily expensive either.

But the boat-anchor constraint could be an issue. My Masi is 23lbs ready-to-ride, not with necessary items like pedals removed. Is that a boat anchor? Maybe.
