I'm not one to talk because I almost always change a bike that I like. My Bianchi, Nishiki Prestige and Paramount are now brifter bikes and my Nishiki Ariels both sport suspension forks. As long as the frame is not butchered or repainted, I guess I don't care.
There's another way of looking at this, did the changes result in a bike that gets ridden? With the exception of a Raleigh Record and a Centurion LeMans 12, the only vintage bikes I ride are the ones that have been changed/upgraded to suit my riding needs.
