Are you talking about the character of an old frame in terms of its appearance or handling properties or are you talking in terms of some property of the material the frame was built with? Do older frames perhaps add a little spring to your buttocks you find newer machines lack? Do they rub you in ways carbon or scandium couldn't hope to mimic?
