effect of metal pipe supporting a vertical cage antenna
There is going to be a LOT of coupling from the two halves of the cage
dipole to the tower. It sounds like a recipe for disappointment to me.
As far as a radiator, the steel will work OK because it's got a lot of
surface area. You could always cage it with wires connected at the top
and bottom if you're worried about the conductivity.
I'd feed it at the bottom if I was lucky enough to have a 120 foot
vertical pipe :-)
