You can get an S-Works Tarmac frame for $4,000 that weighs 800g (1.8lbs).[/QUOTE

The Rodriguez will still be fine in 20-120 years.
Will it though? superlight steel frames aren't exactly durable. Heavier frames sure, but when you start pushing wall thickness down to 0.5 - 0.4mm, the tubes are going to be pretty delicate. Doesn't take much of a ding to dent them.
