I a torn between buying a new frame or an older/ vintage bike frame.
I want to build a touring bike and love the look of older frames/ bikes but wanted to know are their any downsides to buying vintage? What to look out for? Do people think they are overpriced or a bargin?
By vintage in mean like 1970's-90's.
If I buy new I'd probably buy something like a Bob Jackson Audax end-end (£500) and would be happy to spend the same on a vintage frame.
