Frame weights .... Good weight for a steel MTB frame?

Depends on the type of bike, size etc, so a piece of string question really. It's also one of the least important characteristics unless you're hard-core racer, so I'm not sure why folk get hung up on it.
 
Knowing your height sans beard, what frame is it?

This 19" 4.4lb lightweight was waay to noodly for a lump like me.

Anything under 5.0 lbs for steel imho would be good, I think my 18" TET Kona Hot is around 4.5lbs if memory serves right.

Wow, that makes me happy.
My albeit non retro 18" 2001 Kilauea in Kona branded Double Butted tubing weighs in at 1971g... 4.34lbs!
