do you want a bike that was designed in the 50's? if so, go for it. i bet they sell them for far less in china.
It was designed in 1913 and thanks for sharing your uninformed opinion.
What did you think was on your fixie that was newer than 1913, btw? Maybe the tire compound, square taper BB, and aero rims.
How did you establish it would rust faster than other bikes? Better steel is actually often somewhat less corrosion resistant.
