    Hey,

    Does any major manufacturer make complete steel road bikes anymore?

    I know Surly have the Pacer but that's frame only.

    Also, Kona have the very retro looking Honky Tonk (with downtube shifters)

    Any others?

    Colnago Master X-Light.

    Depends what you mean by "complete". The frame is, and a steel fork is an option.

    I'm sure you can get a bike shop to build something around your frame of choice and sell it as a "complete bike".
