Suggestions for a nice steel frame

[gtRTSdh]

What great steel frames should I be looking out for? I'm watching a nice salsa on evil bay, must be bottom pull and no triple triangles. . .

Many nice steel frames out there. I suggest looking at the readers bikes section and seeing what you like

I looked at the clockworks, were any bottom pull?

Why is bottom pull so important? I much prefer all the cables to be routed along the top tube, it keeps them out of all the mud and water thrown off the front wheel.

Re:

Many Clockworks were downtube-routed bottom pull. Up until 1992 I think. The '93's used a roller so it was top routed but a bottom pull mech still.

Yes, the '89 and very early 90's ones had a brazed widget on top of the BB shell and think there was also a pulley round the back of the seat tube low down...
