Recommend me a used full-steel road-racer to find..

I think I still have a bit of time before my number gets called by Mr. Sadoff and I have to make a decision on how I want my steel roadie* frame/fork done up...so I'm thinking about hunting a good used model to get a feel for things I may want the same/different in the custom.

This thread has some good ideas.

And this Vetta is my current design inspiration. Traditional geometry, 23/25c tires, steel fork, level TT, 1" steerer, and custom stem.

So, any recommendations for models and years of steel rigs to hunt down that are decently affordable in the current market?

Steelman, Tesch, Kelly, certain Serotta models...what else???

Bonus points if you have one in my size and want to sell it cheap.

Double bonus points if you have one in my size and want to loan it out to a good home for a while

* still a chance I'll instead opt for a cantilever cross rig, 29er all-mountain hardtail, or something else fun like that...but the RL team-tig has sentimental pulls for me, so it's probably going to be one of those...
