This is the most attractive steel frame bike I've ever seen
For Christmas I was given a copy of It's All About the Bike: The Pursuit of Happiness On Two Wheels by Robert Penn. It's an enjoyable read about a cyclist who travels the world to collect the components to build his ultimate road bike. One thing he omitted was a pic of his bike. So I went online to find it. Not that impressed:

So I started looking for attractive steel framed bikes. This is the sexiest I've seen:

his frame and groupset are nice, the stem iffy, and as for a brooks ... no !
but that's his choice
It is his choice. It's just the wrong choice!
That not-quite-Celeste Enigma is indeed a lovely thing.
I have a thing at the moment for any bike in mirror polished 953 with ~40-60mm carbon rims. Preferably with seat stays thinner than Bono's credibility.
I hear you on that. Would love a frame in Reynolds 953. If it's good enough for Madison Genesis, it's good enough for me!
There is a tv programme, oft repeated, of Penn's build.
I don't like it either and prefer the one you posted, but it's all about personal choice.
Although this is pretty sexy as well:
