I didn't need a vintage frame but bought one off eBay when I saw something I liked the look of. And it was an inspired decision. I got a 1992 Condor Squadra in 653 for a measly £100. Now that it's built it up (with modern bits) it rides and looks great.
So, I encourage you to go for it. The only problem with vintage is finding the right frame at the right price.
