SOMA frames imported by David Malan via his company https://everydaycyclesupplyco.com Fantastic to deal with, but it's a boutique brand and the Rand:Dollar being what it is makes prices steep. I owned the wolverine frame and it was a joy to ride. Prince Albert Cycles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted February 10 Share The Spez Sequoia is also brilliant... Depending on the size, I've seen a few being advertised. Otherwise there are a couple of options here; https://www.merlincycles.com/cyclocross-gravel-bike-frames-75278/ and one or two of these; https://www.takealot.com/farr-out-cromoly-steel-gravel-framekit-medium-52cm-grey/PLID72740236?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWO4nqHvaF3Uqp1AP5fo0B8cLJrB4lG20gHki66sb4Q-JBKDqnaVK5uhoCHQgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Otherwise, if the budget is big enough, Chumba make beautiful bike frames. I bought a Velo-Orange and had it shipped via aramex global shopper. I'm of the opinion that one needs to buy a GOOD steel bike for it to be 'better' that other materials. Cheap steel is just heavy and not amazing. Steel for steel sake lands up being expensive and disappointing.... splat, Underachiever and Prince Albert Cycles 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode a friend's Norco Search a couple of times, great bike and excellent value for money. His was definitely an alu frame version though.

Curve (Benky) had some Kevin of steel frames. https://benky-rides.com/products/curve-kevin-of-steel-iii-xl-demo There were a few steel Rondo frames - not sure if there are any left though. I have seen a few Standert bikes cruising, but have no idea if or who distributes them here. https://standert.de/collections/gravel-adventure I got my steel frame made by Dave Mercer. Not imported or custom, but his 'off the shelf' geometry. These look like fun.

Furbz Posted February 10 Share Take a look at Mason bikes. Their steel road bike is the best riding bike on earth. Better than my colnago, cipo, bianchi, Ritte, parlee Prince Albert Cycles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice options out there my customer is going to have a hard time in making a decision . Here's another spanner, Curve Kevin. Columbus tubing and an absolute joy to ride. Kev Benky represents them here. Alternatively you could go for local bespoke build with Mercer and your customer would have a bike for life. ajnkzn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
