Bikes of vintage days were great. Bikes of today are great, Bikes of tomorrow will also be great. I wish to ride them all and not be stuck in the past.
Also worth considering is that there are a LOT of bikes out there with electronic shifting. There may be come incentive for third party battery and parts replacements a few years down the line.
