100% agree. I'm riding an early 90s Yokota Catalina as my daily driver and it's like a tank. That thing is going to live forever, and as long as I keep up on the basic maintenance, it's a dream to ride. There's no way in hell I'd be tempted to switch over to a new bike with a delicate and expensive to repair brake system, or electronic shifting that costs more than a set of winter (car) tires to repair.
