The cyclist site has a quick post about the state of steel bikes, including some popular models, and a discussion on the resurgence in steel frames.  We’ve only reviewed one steel road bike on RoadCycler.com, the popular Bianchi Brava (a great bike!), but there are many more out there; many of them from artisan framebuilders.

Minneapolis’ own Handsome Cycles has put together a final prototype build for their ‘Handsome Devil’ frame, according to their blog.  While apparently the photo on their blog doesn’t do the frame justice, it still looks like a sweet commuter with plenty of details you wouldn’t normally find in a “cheap” bike.  They were initially planning on shipping the bike at $359, but due to an increase in shipping charges, the frameset will debut at $379.
