That is the title of a Tintin book:
Personally, I understand where you are coming from. I have owned and ridden a
lot of modern steel bikes and, personally, have never found one that I thought rode as well as my other bikes, so the ones I've owned I've sold (with one exception), and the ones I've ridden I never bought.
I had always wanted a neon fade Serotta, more for the paint job than for the ride quality. I had toyed with the idea of painting a ti or carbon Serotta in that paint scheme as an homage, but when a CSi in excellent condition and an odd paint scheme came up for sale here, I snapped it up. I finally had it repainted and built up, and when I took it on its first ride, I was blown away. It is by far the nicest riding steel bike I have ever ridden.
If it got to the point of needing tubes to be replaced, I wouldn't go through that expense, but I can understand your wanting to do so.
