Thinking about a road bike now.

Back in the day I really wanted a Vitus 979 lugged aluminium frame, or the later lugged carbon tubes. They just seemed so space-age. But I couldn't afford it, that is I couldn't afford a Vitus and my mountain bike - so I bought the Bridgestone.

So, 16 years later and Campy-equipped vntage Vitus bikes are pretty affordable. And I'm thinking of buying one.

What do the road bikers here think about these oldies? A Good Thing like a 1989 Porsche is? Or Way Too Old to consider?

This would be for fun weekend rides and zipping to/from work on nice summer days when I don't need to carry anything.
