Help building my first steel frame bike

Hello all,
So Ill start this up front by stating Im total newb. I bought a sirrus comp last year and love it. But, being a shade tree mechanic for many years I cant resist the itch to translate my car hobby into building a bike. Now I understand all the benefits pros/coms of aluminum, carbon, titanium, etc. and lets assume all the arguments for going with other frame materials are correct...lets also assume I don't care and want classic steel. So my starting point is obviously which steel frame to pick? I've searched the forums but most of the threads point to building your own and what websites to find materials. I cant build a frame in my apartment. So Im hoping you guys can help me select a complete frame I can use for the basis of my build. Can someone point me to a few frame manufactures for a good lightweight steel frame?
