Last year, when I was in Italy, I saw a couple who were both riding the bike you're asking about on a world tour. They seemed pretty happy with their bikes. It may not be a big deal, but i believe they are now made of aluminum--lighter but more prolematic if the frame breaks. In some ways, lala may have been lucky to get the last of the steel frames.
