I do think that old bikes are generally just better. I'm finally on a modern road/commuter bike, after two decades of only ever being on 19070s/80s steel road bikes, and it's just not as good. I paid more than three times as much for it, it's heavier, and it's harder to maintain, what with things like pneumatic disc brakes. When this one finally goes, I'll go back to craigslist like I always did and pick myself up an old road bike for $200.
