Yeah metal bikes! I've worked in composite manufacturing, owned carbon in the past and will likely buy more carbon in the future so I am not a luddite I just think a well designed and manufactured metal bike is a thing of beauty. I was really stoked to get my GG Smash just before GG went carbon. Their new carbon frames look great \[my GF got a carbon Smash and loves it\], but I plan to ride my metal Smash for many years. I'll appreciate it even more now that it's a collectors item!
Those RAAW bikes look really nice and I have been tempted to try a steel FS frame since I love my steel HTs so much. Anyways I'm glad there are still quite a few great metal frame options for those of us that swing that way. :-)
