Anyone know the last year a steel frame was used by a racing cyclist

I wouldn't be surprised if someone was riding one in this year's
Tour.

Until I rode an S-Works Roubaix this year, I wasn't convinced that any
carbon fiber bike would/could ride as nicely as a steel Lemond Sarthe
I picked up on ebay, and I would gladly ride a hand-built custom steel
frameset (from the right builder with the right tubeset) over any
carbon fiber bike I'd ridden previously. *Keep in mind, I'm not a
weight-weenie, so a pound or so more frame weight means nothing to
me. *Comfort and durability, on the other hand... much more important..

You mean the yellow Tsunami with the yellow decals wasn't your favorite
bike?

I never had one of those framesets... but I hear from those who did
that they were quite nice!
