Also can a frame with downtown shifters to one that uses brake/shift levers?
don't worry about weight. yes, a frame that has DT shifters can take the new brake-shift levers. nice steel frames are 531 (the old racing standard steel frame), SL (a little newer than 531, standard racing frame), and SLX (even lighter than SL). others are 735 and 835. i'd say, they're all good though, to be frank.
