For once Merton is right on the money here.

If you divide the cost of a bike like a "Rivendell" over a period of years you can own a
serious steel bike that will ride, and last, better than any aluminum / carbon fiber junk
you could spend your money on.

There IS a reason that custom builders all use steel, mate.
