"modernish" mass production high quality steel frames
Good day all. I'm a very new to road bikes. I'm looking for some information on what companies made/make "modern" road bike frame made with high quality steel. Unfortunately budget is my constraint, so the artisan quality boutique frames are out of reach. Any information is appreciated so I can widen my search. I need a 54 if you know of something that fits the description.
 For example, I know Specialized made the Allez Comp and Allez Elite from 2004-2007 time frame. They both used Columbus Foco tubing. Ryan

What is your budget? All City sells the Mr Pink as both frameset and complete bike, and prices are pretty dang reasonable.
Also, this might get moved to the general discussion section, as this area is often used for sharing pictures of bikes owned by members... Last edited by hollowgram5; 07-13-2019 at 09:53 AM.

used steel frames are a bargain, hunt hard, 54 is easy to find here. theres even a few threads with folks hunting them specifically, so check those first. dont go mass made steel when you can get such a sweet deal on boutique second hand. or do. but im gonna tell you right now, you have the chance to get a much nicer bike going used boutique.

Hi Ryan,
I moved your thread to the general discussion area, you will get more views and discussion here. It's an interesting and good question. i echo what matt said above that used steel or even titanium is an excellent value, and you get a lot more for your money often on a nicer bike that is going to last forever anyway. as for brand new, if you need some tire clearance, the all-city mentioned is an excellent frame, and the other option that i think is A+ is the Ritchey Road logic. excellent richey logic steel frame. good luck on your hunt!

I’m intrigued with the Fairlight Strael.

Twin Six has their Rando frames, not sure if they have anything more pure pavement or “road race” oriented.

Saturated Market
There's so many choices today, it's amazing how many brands are still in the steel niche.
You can get these bikes anywhere but use Adrenaline Bikes web page as a resource to see what's out there. You can browse pics and descriptions from here: https://www.adrenalinebikes.com/stor...ategoryID=1659

I’ve been impressed on paper with the Fairdale Goodship which is on sale right now for $599, frame and fork shipped. If I wasn’t spread out right now I’d pick one up, that’s a pretty solid deal.
Edit: Sorry, just checked and they’re sold out of 54’s.

(Just saw the BM reference above)
I have both new and old steel. As to new steel, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Black Mountain Road. Think Bridgestone RB-1.  IMG_4942r by Robert Copple, on Flickr

I would suggest you check out Wraith Fabrication - https://wraithfabrication.com/.
I'm seriously considering a Paycheck for Dirty Kanza next year. A friend has a Wraith Hustle and he really likes it. Small batch fabrication, made in USA.
