OK, let me elaborate. If you buy a old frame then you have to factor in the cost of any repair and refurbishment. Then you have to make sure that the components you have fit the old frame standards. You may have to find old parts in good working order. If it is a "name" e.g. Hetchins or Colnago then it may be worthwhile but if you just want a frame to ride then I see no point in spending as much on a "vintage" frame as on a new one.
Anyway, just my opinion.
