I should add that there are plenty of 2nd hand steel bike on Ebay and
since you don't have to worry about them wearing out, you can choose
what you want.

Well, I would worry about steel frames wearing out. The VSF T-100 I am
currently riding is my third adult bike. My first one was a Decathlon
Riverside from circa 2000, a time when they still used steel. It lasted
about 50.000 km before breaking, and I did not think about keeping it
back then. I think should have.

That does prove that steel frames do fail, though they can be repaired.

Everything fails. Steel frames are much more easily
repaired than any other format.
Jobst's frame failed not beczuxsed "everything fails" but because it was a super large frame made of standard 1" steel tubing. In my experience and as a man who once rode quite hard in a 42/25 low gear up ae steel as 24% grades, that steel was very highly unlikely to fail. I NEVER had a high grade steel frame fail.
You're riding a Basso Loto yes?
