Specialized Roubaix alternative in steel

I am looking for a bike frame.
I require a tall head tube and want steel.
What is available?
I have considered Audax frames but understand that they may be heavier than required.

The bike is to be used for club runs and fast riding.
I do not want carbon and a stack of spacers0 -

Thanks.
I looked at custom builds and it appears to be out of budget.0 -

£800 for a frame.
Head tubes are generally too short and top tubes are too long.0 -

I ride a Roubaix and wanted an all weather alternative so I worked with Justin Burls to replicate the position on my Roubaix with added mudguard clearance in Titanium. The frame was £950, if you look on his website Burls Prices he'll do steel for between £7-800.
If I'm totally honest I prefer riding the Burls to the Roubaix.
This was taken a couple of years ago and some components have changed but you get the idea.

Thats a nice bike Dave.
I have contacted Rourke and there is a long wait.
I am sure it is worth it.
I have looked at Genesis but do not think the frame will fit.
Are there any other producers of quality steel frames at sensible prices?0 -
Phoned Bob Jackson but they are not doing custom frames as too busy at present0
