After reading his stuff I'm sorta thinkin' I'll stick to my 'vintage' 1990(ish) 531c Raleigh (weighs a nice 1840g at 58cm) instead of mashing some 1400g 'lugless' UltraFoco thingy.

Glad you enjoyed that site. Henry is obviously biased toward steel, but he knows as much if not more about it than anyone in the industry.
