Five to ten years ago I'd have said 'probably worth it'.
Since then, the renaissance of handmade / bespoke bicycles and the reappropriation of a lot of decent old steel road bikes as sweet fixies has rendered vintage bikes largely 'not worth it' to me - what's left seems overpriced.
My nostalgia for old road bikes is pretty non-existent though, personally I look at graphic design and paint schemes more than anything else.
