buy a brand new bike - spend some money, think of it as an investment. Not a bso at Wally World, a nice LBS bicycle that will be a joy to ride. Ride it for the next 30 years so it is a part of you and your personal heritage. Take very good care of it - after all, it was an investment. Then, in 2042, when someone starts a discussion about vintage bikes - point to it!
