Lightest Steel Frame?

[PanoIgano]

I have an ishiwata 015 frame which is noticeably lighter than any of my other frames (and it’s a 22.5” build)

@D N Stone Got any pictures of this by any chance?

These guys from Weapon are making nice lightweight steel frames. It doesn't say what brand of tube it is, but if triple butted probably Tange at 1500gr.

I'm very surprised there are no UK or European builders adopting the Tange Ultimate tube set - surely a viable competitor to fragile Carbon construction.

Maybe it's not in the retail chain yet and still in 'development', I can't see it in any frame tube distribution channels, not even in China who are generally way ahead of the curve on new build tech. I'd definitely buy one if there was a straight choice between a plastic frame with dubious durability and an all steel Tange at 1200gr...

I'll get me coat...
