Steel road bike wanted

Looking for a good quality late 1970's to 90's Steel road/racing bike 56cm to 58cm for completing Sportives and training runs. Ideally quality Reynolds or Columbus steel and must be in good condition. Not looking for a heavy touring bike or new bike.

Would like if parts can be upgraded or spare parts easily sourced if they break, so a late 70's to early 90's bike would be preferred with alu wheels anot steel wheels!

Can pay 300 euro or so.
Many thanks

Just seen a 58cm raleigh steel frame on adverts for 70€ so you might want to check it out. Its fresh ad so you should be able to find it.

I've a 1984 Raleigh Record Sprint for €200 on adverts.ie with a 501 frame but the 21" size is probably too small for you.

I have a Raleigh Elan (1993) which I'm considering selling. I have the original wheels for it as well. Also have original brake levers and seatpost/saddle.
