Consider N+1
the new TIG welded steel frames out of Taiwan are nice ,
and the lighter steel tube will be a felt improvement , resilience ..
over the mild steel tubing made with a thicker tube-wall.
then you can use newer components too ..
I'm thinking about some upgrades over the Winter like alloy rims.
Keep the steel rims , replace the hubs , with Drum brakes* .. then the weather will not effect the braking..
rim brakes have to dry the water at the top, then they just get wet again at the bottom ..
and you can have your new second bike ready in the spring.
* I have drum braked wheels built 25+ years ago. no pad wear , they will outlast Me.
