In fact here in Portland OR there are lots of vintage commuters that have been stripped of all unnecessary parts and then just a few upgraded components.
But nothing can substitute for realiability....and this being the biggest reason for buying new.
I recently bought a new steel LaMond and looked everywhere. Finally purchased new locally (mostly cause I needed a larger frame and they are harder to find used or in stock). But with the purchase I recieved LIFETIME adjustments on brakes and shifter/derailleur components and other discounts on labor an parts....this being the biggest reasons for buying locally. So check see..
But a good deal on something you like is always the way togo.......new, used or internet.
Also... you might open the search amount up to see what can be had for just a little more. Basically the price difference will get you better components that may last way longer with less maintenence. This will also help when comparing bikes side by side and seeing exactly where the extra $$ is going towards....and eventually one will stand out.
My new ride is the best purchase I've made in 10 years......I haven't driven my car in weeks.....
