And has any company started to use the re-issue of Columbus SL yet? That would probably be worth paying for...
I think a lot of C&V guys are coming into the market looking for steel frames that they are familiar with during their younger (more exciting?) days in cycling. Many are now older/affluent enough to spend for the fancier steel bikes that they could only dream about back then and the old makers ar making their dreams come true. This renaissance of steel bikes and framesets is a great retort to the newest "hyper-tech" CF bike movement that pretty much attracts cyclist that are mostly outside of the steel picture/generation and sort of "don't get it".
