What's high end? A Fairlight Strael comes in 10 frame sizes, 2 colors, and has the following-
- reynolds 853 and 853 pro team main triangle. the top tube is 7/4/7 ovalized and the down tube is 7/5/7 bi-oval.
- reynolds butted 8/6 631 round chainstays.
- reynolds .6 725 seat stays.
- full carbon fork, flatmount thru axle, di2 compatible.
- 3d printed cable guides, fender mounts, and rear rack mounts.
- mix of brazed rear triangle with welded front triangle.

I saw a 54cm frame and fork is about 2250g combined and builds up to a sub 20# bike with an ultegra drivetrain and hardly expensive or weight weenie wheels.
Seems quite complete and expansive. Not sure what more is wanted/expefted in a modern 'standard' steel road frame.
