I also like both steel and aluminum - and carbon. Have all three.
But for me (and alluded to in prev post) - the steel would need to be high-end butted thin wall tubes etc - just about anything else will be on the heavy side and probably would not have the ‘lively’ feel. You gotta pay $ for high-end lightweight steel.
