GT - Zaskar - the first edition hand made in the States. Indestructable 
Still got mine, converted for fast road work
But, oh ****, is was alloy, never mind
Just noticed you don'y like GT's. Mate, I urge you to re-appraise.

Steel bikes are defo harder to find nowadays, but I'm not bothered as I can't be doing with them
I know a lot of people who love the ride of a steel bike, especially around town, so if it is a town bike you are after, steel seems to be a good choice.
Of course, being around town, you will need to paint it matt black/brown, put a load of bodge tape on it, fit crappy canti brakes and totally bottom of the range drivetrain. Either that, or get it nicked.
That wasn't much help was it ?
Ti is what you need. I'm saving and saving for a new Ti frame to run as a singlespeed, but everytime I think I've saved enough, someone brings out a nicer (read more expensive frame).
As a side note/question, anyone running Pace RC31 carbon rigid forks ? Any good ?
Cheers
