the Merckx is alu which is a material that doesn't last forever.

And vintage carbon does?
Carbon is repairable. Many C40s are still on the road after having been repaired.
With aluminium if it cracks then it is game over, not repairable like steel and carbon due to the fact mainly that the alloy is specially heat treated.
