Anyone still have a steel bike?

It is really cool! Weight?
Ok, .... that's nice!
Sorry, I know I just quoted @Geoff's standard response to a nice bike, but it works.

Huh, somehow I don't think I've ever seen this thread.
Yep, I have four road bikes, three are steel. Columbus Thron tubeset, Columbus Genius tubeset, Columbus Multi-Shaped tubeset; new 105-10s gruppo, 2007 Campagnolo Centaur 10s gruppo, 1991 Campagnolo Record gruppo (with Delta brakes!). I like all of them and use them for different rides/riding.
I'll have to post some pictures of my Tommasini Diamante. That bike is bonkers. Ridiculously busy Italian paint, MS tubeset, Record gruppo, and the crazy Deltas. It's red as well, meaning I don't need a mid-life crisis Ferrari...

Willy: fantastic! (as always, though)
nayr497: could you post a pic of your Genius bike? Recently got a lugged Genius frame which will be my next-next build. So give or take 3 years, but still looking for inspiration.

There are some amazing new builds showing up all over the board lately, but Willy's Peg might take the win for me right now. Very nicely done. Bravo.

@victorduraace I have lots of other pics, I admit the one I posted (taken hastily after a ride) made a "not so good" first impression. Here are a few more:

These photos are more appealing, Budgetweenie. The bike looks good, nice set of wheels there too!
Your forum name indicates you are budget conscious, which is fine, but one area that would polish this ride up without a deep investment is the stem. This bike is screaming for a better stem. Check out the polished silver offerings from Thompson, Ritchey, Nitto, etc.

I would just replace the stem with something like that:
