I'm not too bothered. I'm no fan of old steel frames for anything other than commute/beater duties. I don't care how posh they are - I have no interest in them.
I don't believe something being old makes it less likely to fail just because it has been around for 25 years. What if it has sat in a garage for 25 years doing nothing? What if it was at the bottom of the Thames for 10 years? Bike design and manufacturing has improved - I choose to embrace this improvement.
