Yes, the Baylis and the Kvale are heavier, but they climb, shift, and handle as well as anything else out there. If you didn't have modern shifting on your Pinarello, it may have been the parts that made you look for something else.

I had modern 11 speed Campy on it. The Pinarello was very nice riding....just heavy compaired to my carbon bike. I imagine that modern steel with be lighter, and have a snappier feel.
